celetron or Pentium? Why orwhy not?

Celeron and Pentium are processor types made by Intel. Celerons are the worst processor you can get--they will at best last a couple of years before slowing down and will break shortly after--their only advantage is they are cheaper then Pentiums. There are two types of Pentium processors that are sold today: Pentium 4 (or P4) and Centrino (or Pentium M; these are designed to be used in laptops because they use less power). Pentiums are fairly good, but aren't the best, and they are very expensive. \n\nI would suggest using AMD processors. The AMD Sempron competes with the Celeron, the AMD Turion competes with the Centrino, and the AMD Athlon competes with the Pentium 4, but the AMD processors are more reliable, will last longer, are faster, and are much less expensive; especially the Sempron, which  can sometimes outperform Pentium 4s.

Listen, the best of the best, while still getting a bang for your buck is an AMD Athlon Processor. Athlons are better than Pentiums for one good reason, FSB (Front Side Bus). FSB determines how much information can be sent at one time. The bigger the FSB the more data can be transformed at one time, and vice-versa. Even though Pentuims are faster, Athlons can process more data at one time, making them best for multi-tasking. Let me help you visualize. Imagine a waterfall. The water in the river that leads to the waterfall is represented as data. Now, River A is a skinny river but its moving fast. River B is a really really wide river, so it moves slower, but dumps more water at the end of the waterfall then River A. Since River A is so skinny, it easily gets clogged up. And Since River B is so fat, it rarely gets cloged up. So, River A not only doesnt send as much data as River B, but sometimes it can get clogged up in itself. River B , on the other hand, is a little slower but dumps way more water because its so fat, and usually never clogs up. In other words, Peniums usually come with a low FSB. Thus, they can only send and process a little bit of data at a time, Thats why they have to be fast, to make up for the low data transfer. This makes Pentiums good for doing one thing at a time. Athlons, are a little bit slower, but have WAY more FSB than Pentiums (Usually 2000MHz). This makes them extremely good at tackling many processes at once. Not only that, but they are usually cheaper. Just let me give you a little guide to buying a PC. \n\nThe 4 most important things to look at when buying a PC or labtop are:\n1) Processor speed\n2) FSB \n3) RAM\n4) Memory\n\nThe Processor Speed and the FSB must have a balance. If you get a slow Processor, than you need a lot of FSB. If you get a fast Processor, than you dont need that much FSB. (A fast processor runs over 3GHz. A slow one runs under 2GHz. A lot of FSB is around 2000MHz. A little FSB is under 1000MHz.)\n\nThe RAM is very important as it also increases your computers ability to compute and store many things whenever it needs it. Thats why its called Random Acess Memory. (A lot of RAM is over 512MB. A little RAM is under 512MB.)\n\nThe regular Memory (Hardrive) is sometimes used as RAM. This is called Virtual Memory. Which is why its also very important because it helps out the RAM. (A lot of Hardrive memory for a Laptop is over 80GB. A little Hardrive memory for a Laptop is under 60GB.)\n\nSo, really, there are 3 important factors. Processor speed, FSB, and RAM. But since the Hardrive is used to help RAM, its important to get a lot of it. (they are cheap anyways, you can get them about .25 cents a GB) \n\nI Hope this helps you pick out a good labtop.

pentium 4 is way faster. pentium 3 can be in the 800 MHz speed range, but pentium 4 can start near 1.4 GHz and work its way up to 3 GHz

Sure, it's possible, but some motherboards pose a limitation on processor speed and use different sockets, like the motherboard I have now supports from Pentium 4 1.4 to 3.06 GHz and Celeron 1.7-2.8, but looking at your specifications on the HP website, you have an Intel Celeron (TM) 733 MHz processor. That is the height of the Pentium 3 or 4 area, which means you can probably expand it with the existing motherboard, but not by much (probably another 200MHz).\n\nSince it is a manufacturer motherboard, chances are it is further limited to the amount of processors it can support. The supplier of your motherboard, but 1. HP doesn't release the model number of it and 2. The English version is down for whatever reason and I can't read Korean ;-) .\n\nAlso, most retail outlets would only stock the more "modern" parts (e.g. 2.0+ GHz range), you're less likely to find a processor unless you go on eBay, but even then it'll need the accompanying motherboard, but even that poses its own dilemmas.

Pentium D is a Pentium 4 with two processor cores (instead of one) in a single CPU (chip).  If you run applications that take advantage of multiple processors, like high-end photo editing, video editing, and 3D rendering applications (like Maya and 3D Studio, not games), then the Pentium D will outperform the P4 as these applications will take advantage of the extra processor.\n\nHowever, for basic home and office applications or games, the D doesn't buy you much.  The only exception is if you run multiple applications at once with each one running demanding active tasks (like running a huge spreadsheet calculation while searching a massive database and running a web spider to automatically hunt and categorize web pages).

You can think of a Celeron as a stripped down pentium. For chips at the same processor speed you will see that the level2 cache is less and the supported bus speeds are less.

both are proccesor one for laptop and other for pc.INTEL PENTIUM is more reliable.problem with AMD is heating and intel support grater graphics properties but sound support for AMD is grater.

windows xp home and professional support hyper-threading. you need an intel pentium processor that supports it. celerons do not have it amd processors do not have it. and i believe the regular pentium d's (dual core) dont have it (the extreme editions do). u will know if u have hyper-threading by bringing up the task manager (alt ctrl del) and clicking the performance tab if your cpu graph is split then u have hyper-threading enabled (2 graphs per cpu or core)

you technically couldn't make them the same speed, but unless you are saying like a Intel P4 2.8ghz a Celeron at 2.8 and an AMD Athlon at 2.8, well, the Athlon will beat everything from the Intel 2.8s to about 3.77s to even 4ghz for Intel due to the difference inthe AMD cpu architecture.

Pentium M is for Mobile gadgets, it's intended for laptops notebooks, etc. Never use it for a desktop computer. Or if you want to make a light traffic print server, Celeron would make a nicer deal, M is way too powerful and way too expensive for things like that.

if you use for all these purposes, i surely assist you to go ahead with intel pentium 4, because the others which you have mentioned are for only packages like c and others even you can also purchase intel core duo it is also a better option so all the best.

Pentium 4 is a much more sophisticated and modern system than a Celeron and according to your specs, which seem wrong, I would hazard a guess of 1.8Ghz though that could be because it is being overclocked from 1.5Ghz

well it really depends on what you are going to do with the machine... Every processor has it strengths and weaknesses, sometimes they are designed that way to provide for a specific market.  You could ask and get so many different answers based on peoples personal opinion from thier personal uses of the processor.  A math or physics student, programmer or graphics artists would tell you that the pentium 4 is the best.  Someone who does a lot of wireless stuff and general computing would most likely say the Centrino and someone who does home computing with no real stress in any particular way for the system would say the celeron, but then of course for price those would be different.  Buy a system that does what you need for a good price and is competetive as far as upgradeability.  After all no nead buying a jetski if you don't go to the lake.

Basically, the difference is price, speed, and quality. Intel Celeron processors are cheaper that Intel Pentium 4s, but they are generally slower and will slow down further after a few years (if they last that long before breaking) due to poor construction. The difference between the Celeron D and the Celeron M is minimal, if not non-existent. A Celeron M is designed to be used for laptops (M stands for mobile), so it may take a little less power and run a little cooler (in exchange for a little less speed) than the Celeron Ds--which are designed for desktops where power consumption and heat isn't as big of an issue. In my opinion, Celerons (of any type) are the worst processor you can buy.\n\nHowever, AMD makes faster, more reliable, less expensive processors. The AMD Sempron competes with the Celeron, the AMD Turion competes with the Centrino (or Pentium M), the AMD Athlon competes with the Pentium 4, and the AMD Athlon X2 competes with Intel’s new dual-core processors. In all categories the AMD processors are superior in all aspects; especially the Sempron. Although the Sempron competes with the Celeron and is considerable less expensive, the Sempron is not poorly constructed so it does not have any reliability issues; not to mention that, in some cases, it has the speed to outperform Pentium 4s.

There is the P4 which has many different versions such as the Pentium M (mobile cpu - centrino), the core duo, the Xeon, the standard P4 which ranges from a 400mhz bus to an 800mhz bus, and then the Pentium D which is the dual core CPU.\n\nThe very top chip I think they have on the market right now is the Intel Pentium Extreme Edition which is a dual core chip with 2x2mb of cache and a 1024 bus.\n\nAs for the AMD, there is the sempron which is AMD's answer to the celeron (but better IMHO) and then the Athlon 64, which is a pretty awesome chip, but not as awesome as the AMD Athlon 64 X2 which is the dual core version of the AMD line.  The opteron is the name of AMD's server chip line, and they do come in both single and dual core.  Then, of course, is the Turion CPU which is the mobile chip.\n\nI like both chips, I usually sell more AMD than INTEL chips.  You can pick up a dual core AMD Athlon 3800+ X2 for around $300 and it runs sweet when paired up with a gig or two of RAM.\n\nHope this helps!

Here are the most important similarities and differences between the Pentium 4 and the Celeron chips coming out today: \nCore - The Celeron chip is based on a Pentium 4 core. \n\nCache - Celeron chips have less cache memory than Pentium 4 chips do. A Celeron might have 128 kilobytes of L2 cache, while a Pentium 4 can have four times that. The amount of L2 cache memory can have a big effect on performance. \n\nClock speed - Intel manufactures the Pentium 4 chips to run at a higher clock speed than Celeron chips. The fastest Pentium 4 might be 60 percent faster than the fastest Celeron. \n\nBus speed - There are differences in the maximum bus speeds that the processors allow. Pentium 4s tend to be about 30 percent faster than Celerons. \nWhen you sort all this out and compare the two chips side by side, it turns out that a Celeron and a Pentium 4 chip running at the same speed are different beasts. The smaller L2 cache size and slower bus speeds can mean serious performance differences depending on what you want to do with your computer. If all you do is check e-mail and browse the Web, the Celeron is fine, and the price difference can save you a lot of money. If you want the fastest machine you can buy, then you need to go with the Pentium 4 to get the highest clock speeds and the fastest system bus. \nalso u can check out this site for more info:\nhttp://computer.howstuffworks.com/question268.htm

centrino processor design for mobile. laptop\nbut celeron is design  ask a low end (remove half of cache memory) of pentium. u read carefully,\n\nintel give a name on processor like this\n\nintel pentium 4\nintel celeron\n\nevery version of pentium (pentium 2, pentium 3 and pentium 4) have a celleron version (that is remove half of cache)\neg: pentium 2, have celleron for pentium 2 (how we know it celeron for pentium 2? by look at socket type. \n\ni hope u understand.
