Comment: Ok i have a Celeron 325 Also known as intel celeron D.
I was just wondering as i have a intel celeron 325 weather it would play top titles, iv seen some really bad posts about celerons and how poor they perform but this celeron D seems Ok do u think i did a Cpuz test on it and found :- - Prescot core
- core speed 2532.8mhz
- multiplier x19.0
- 133.3 mhz FSB
- 533.2 mhz bus speed
- Level 2 cach 256 --------------------
So will this play me games.And i would like it if u post ur cpu specs so i can compare my celeron to ur amd or p4 or p3..etc.

Reply: (edit)Your problem is too little RAM & onboard graphics...not to mention you own an HP...LOL! You should have at least 512MB RAM, with many gamers recommending 1GB...plus you need a "real" video card - preferrably one that supports DX9 & has at least 128MB/128-bit memory Asus A7N8X-X
1800+ @ 8 x 210MHz
768MB PC3200
Asus A9550 128MB/128-bit
Gamer Edition
WinME/WinXP Pro

Reply: (edit)http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20041221/cpu_charts-15.html#directx_9 That shows you that the 2.8GHz based on the Prescott is a respectable CPU. However, yours is significantly slower in bus speed, so it's not gonna scream, but it should get the job done. Go get some RAM and a video card, and you should be ok.

Reply: (edit)celeron vs P4, its hard to tell by words. you have to see differences by yourself. i have experiment it, both same machine, same ram, same hardware, everything, but the CPU. 1 is 2.5ghz celeron and 1 is 2.4ghz p4. P4 runs smoother in games and any video/image program, its much better. but i still think AMD FX 64 is the best for gaming. 2.4ghz AMD fx 64 gets 104 score while the new 3.73GHZ Pentium 4 EE (duel-core with HT on) only gets 102 score. P4 3.2GHZ

Reply: (edit)by the way, just in case you confuse, P4 EE means Pentium 4 extreme edition, not dual-core.also, there is a new Pentium coming out called Pentium D, you might wanna check that out. P4 3.2GHZ
