Sorry,

Stupid question I guess, but assuming an AMD 3000 Barton is better than a Celeron 1.1

 

[bledd]

yes, about 3 times better

lol, thought so. just raiding some old machines in my office to build a system for a mate. someone has pinched the ram from it though

Heh i made a killing on the bay selling 4 3000+ and 2 3200+, got 120 for the 3000+ cpus and the 3200+ cpus went for 44 and 48, people still are on the lookout for these! Cost me nothing but postage as i got the cpus from decommisoned work rigs

I'd say a celeron was about the Amd rating of about 900XP so yeah a 3000xp would be much better.

EDIT Is it normal SDRam you need, i may have some spare somewhere you could have for free to get it going

On a barton system it will more than likely be DDR, 2700 or 3200. If its a 1.1 Tualatin 256k instead of a 1.1 128k coppermine Celeron i'd say 950XP PR

Man i really wasnt thinking then. But i'm sure i've got at least 256mb ddr if you want it.

Justin, you the same as the oldschool HWC?

 

[Justintime]

Yep thats me

Sorry to steal the thread but this is somewhere along the same lines. And i didn't want to start a whole new thread for it.

What would be better an Athlon 64 3500+ @ 2.2 Ghz, or an intel Celeron E1200 dual core @ 1.6Ghz

I'd say the Celeron. New tech and it should overclock nicely.
