Celeron's

[Splitter]

Basically I was wondering if anyone knew what kind of SSE instructions this processor has?

It's the celeron D 325 2.53Ghz
It's because after reading the DEA site, I want a CPU with SSE rather than SSE2
Thanks guys/girls

Don't buy a Celeron. Ever.

Dude, I building a server, so I doesn't need it to be great. P3's can run more players that nearly all P4's as they use SSE rather than SSE2 which DX does not support, thus making it less efficient. So does anyone else know if that CPU has SSE or SSE2?
(btw I've got a 2Ghz celeron xD)(no laughing)

The 4 most important things for hosting are a good connection, alot of RAM, a good proccesor and knowledge about the game
Celeron's are inefficient

[Jeoh]

Also, what motherboard are you going to use? What type of RAM?

Read that would you ¬_¬

[Jeoh]

Edit: Here you go, a SSE proccessor. Cheap, efficient and FAST!

celerons arent exactly inefficient

they just have no Cache memory, which means they are cheaper, but alot slower, they rely on thier registers and the bus link to the RAM rather than using the cache

Which makes them inefficient.

When did it turn to Celeron's being inefficient...for DX hosting they are great, which is what I wanted to know

Dont even buy anything from intel based on the crappy presscott core

BOYCOTE INTEL UNTILL THEY REENGINE THE CORE TO MAKE IT DECENT

go and buy a amd or a older intel northwood intels presscotts are the worste thing that has come out of intel

and the fact its a celoron doesnt help

And that was another reading from the Linux bible, thank you Grayfox.

[DarkKnight]

*stumbles into old topic*

Love that bible!



It's true though... Cellerons blow goats for gaming... A 1.2GHz Tutulian(sp?) core p3 can outspec a 2.4GHz presscot celley...so... yeah... Buy AMD seprons if you must.

[Grayfox]

The tutulian was the best core intel relesased.
The northwood was good too

But the northwood was overused by the end

[AlexDenton]

celerons suck

Dont say that the 1.3 ghz tutulian celly was as fast as a 1.6ghz p4

[AlexDenton]

still, it has no cache, so overall, despite its top speed, it would run slower considering the amount of reading and writing that would need to be done during any large process
