 | View Full Version : CPU list: admin0 08-01-2002, 07:25 AM please arrange the ones in terms of performance and your suggestion. I mean if I have to select among these, at what priority do i arrange them in ? : athlon : amd : celeron : pentium I think the right sequence is #1. Pentium #2. Athlon #3. Celeron #4. AMD /duron ? :homer: FiberOptic 08-01-2002, 07:33 AM If on base of MHz: Athlon XP Pentium IV Duron Celeron (e.g. Athlon XP 1800+ is only running at 1.53Ghz) But the Athlon 1800+ and up are difficult to cool down... So irritating noise of fan's will let you buy those good old stable silent PIV's Styles 08-01-2002, 07:37 AM Celeron should be last, I believe.

So from my expirience, here would be my selection. Athlon (Either core) XP Pentium 4 (Norwood Core) AMD T-Bird Pentium 3 Duron Celeron Global-Host2 08-01-2002, 03:23 PM Originally posted by vigor I have done several bench mark tests, on the athlon vs p4.

Depends on the fan you purchase. I boguth a really nice fan, silent. The bets way to cool one of those are heatsink, thermal gel, fan.

May I ask what fan you bought that was not so loud yet has enough cooling - power to cool the AMD XP Processor? :confused: Gem Hexen 08-01-2002, 05:39 PM # 1 Intel # 2 Everything else :D michaeln 08-01-2002, 11:08 PM I am an AMD person but for a small confined space like a laptop I would go with the Intel.... |
