For just websurfing and office apps, no. Gaming, folding, compiling, video editing, etc...that will net you actual benefits.
Re: Celeron Vs Pentium
Would the 400MHz difference between clock speeds be noticeable? I suppose the larger cache and bus of the Pentium 4 would make up for it? It would do more work per clock?
The reason I am considering it is for VMware. My computer can't handle running two Linux distributions at the same time
Re: Celeron Vs Pentium
the p4 is definitely the way to go. its got much better multitasking and handling than the celeron and is just betterOriginally Posted by megamaced

Re: Celeron Vs Pentium
Unless it's a dual-core version, I'd say no.
Re: Celeron Vs Pentium
Probably not. coz the p4's take out a lot more heat than the celeron and emachines wud not spend more money on a cooler so that the person can upgrade in the future. ready built computer only have cost efficient hardwareW00t! Just bought a Pentium 4 2.8GHz, 533FSB 512KB Cache for £20
Do you think i'd be able to use the stock heatsink + cooler that came with my eMachines (for a Celeron 2.8GHz)? I am worried about possible overheating.

Re: Celeron Vs Pentium
Yeah, I agree with mut. A stock P4 one from ebay would be fine. Its a really good HSF and more than adequate for a northwood P4. I got a 25% overclock with mine and the temp barely increased. I ended up with a £20 coolermaster one which does work better but in hindsight was a unnessacary purchase.
I take it the emachines ones isnt a stock P4? The hsf I got with a celly emachine had the intel hsf.
Re: Celeron Vs Pentium
Depends on the core. A Northwood core 2.4 will probably do 3-3.2GHz pretty easy. I'm not sure about the Prescott's OC's.
Re: Celeron Vs Pentium
I think it's a Northwood because its quite old and runs on a Socket 478. Theres no HT or anything like that. The specifics can be found here
Not sure if my eMachines computer has a stock heatsink+fan but I'd assume so. It's pretty huge though and looks up to the task of cooling the P4. Better safe then sorry though so I'll probs buy something a bit better.
I won't be able to do any overclocking because eMachines have locked the BIOS FSB multipliers and clock speed
What do they mean by 'Tray processors'? And what are 'VIDS'?!
Re: Celeron Vs Pentium
VID=Voltage IDentification. It's a fancy way of saying stock voltage. You may also hear the term vCore/Vcore used, which is another name for the same thing.
I believe the tray processors are a way of purchasing CPU's in bulk...like Dell or HP might do. These would be considered OEM and don't come with a heatsink/fan unit.
Actually, early Prescotts were S478, but really were never intended to be run on that platform. Without actually getting into an OS, I'm having a helluva time determining if it's a NW or not. Intel's sSpec finder doesn't seem to want to pull up a record of what core it used. However, I'm inclined to agree, that it is probably Northwood due to the cache size.
