why celeron mother board??

since the differences between celeron and intel was the cash memory
only >>
is there any other reasons???
what is the main purpose of building celeron mother board??

bc its cheaper??

isnt celeron a processor?

yes it is,


maybe i wasn't clear enough???

Celeron is Intel.. Intel Celeron..

I guessing you mean from the other Intels. Yeah, I do believe I remember this from one of my classes.. I am not 100% on this but I think the "biggest" difference between Celeron and the "other" Intels is the Cash Memory.

Again, I am not 100% on this but I am sure someone else knows for sure..

i thought so but i wasn't sure!!

i think there are some more reasons??

maby i can help. There IS another cheaf difference between the two. The celeron signifies a PENTIUM model that didn't pass intels growing standards. They are usually down graded. for example a 2.4gh pentium prototype might be degraded and sold as a 2gh celeron. Thats the word on the street but i think the intel celeron is just a more relible chip than and y other proccessor that why i use them. Theve never let me down

I've heard some Pentiums are downgraded to to lower Pentiums, but never heard of them being downgraded to Celerons.
Celerons are generally lower cache, versions of Pentiums with a lesser clock safety margin.



I heard a funny variation of this the other day,

celeron is the half-assed cheap version of a pentium... i refuse to use them, if you are going to spend the extra money on a intel processor go for the pentium...

Celerons have a lower level of cache so the CPU has less room to store data. you can see what kind of speed advantages cache has by looking at the P4 eXtream eddition and the normal P4's in labtest things (cant think of the word at the moment )

The only intel machines i run are my webservers and they HAVE to be P4s and not Celerons as i want the piece of mind and stability of the P4 under higher loads

hope my rant helps

The only reason I can think of any on purposely buying a Celeron is because they are cheap. Other than that there isn't a good reason to buy one. Although my wife's laptop is a celeron but all she does with it is type term papers and use Yahoo! messenger.

Intel Celeron 2.6GHz - 128kb Level 2 cache
Intel Pentium 4 2.6GHz - 512kb Level 2 Cache



The Pentium 4 has a bigger level 2 cache, so it can store more information closer to the chip. So it can process more, quicker

The only thing I would ever recommend a Celeron for, is just the fact that they are cheap, and an easy solution for someone who wants a basic system with basic capibilities. I started out with a Celeron 2.0 GHz @ 400FSB before I upgraded to my Barton Core, I burned DVD's with it, it served my purpose.

Basically if you want to think of it this way, the Celerons are just the cheap versions of the P4's that weren't up to snuff, so they just slap a 128k Cache on it, and then send it packing. But IMO if you overclock the hell out of a Celeron, it can be pretty appeasing for the general user.

If you overclock the hell out of anything your not a general user.

One thing about Celeron is that, having a smaller cache to store info when loaded to the max are more unstable and more like to cause a system crash then a pentium.

Actually, that is untrue, it isn't any more or any less stable than a Pentium, more so that the amount of data that sits on cache is less. It just takes longer in the active CPU cycles to get rid of the data.

It would be like saying "I have an 8 Cyl engine, and yours is a 4 Cyl, just because mine is bigger and has a higher output, my engine is less likely to die than yours."

And also, if Celeron's are so unstable, then why do quite a few companies use them for workstations? Obviously they need something that has some type of stability.

Not trying to start an argument here, but why feed people inaccurate information?
