Re: New CPU same MB

The Celeron is probably running at a slower FSB than a P4
would. The P4 is only marginally faster than the Celeron,
2.9 to 3 something. The P4 is just slightly faster, having
a faster FSB would speed up the RAM and disk access, just a
little.

You want faster you'll need a real step in mobo, and CPU,
like a dual core system.

| This is what I have now. It runs XP very well. Not sure
if you caught that.
|
| You think 15-20 % more than what it's doing now in
performance?
|
| This is a Cel CPU, going to a P4 HTT CPU. Won't it be a
little more than
| that?
