OT: P4 1.5Ghz vs Celeron 2.0Ghz
MiKman:
I have a chance to upgrade? to a Celeron 2.0Ghz from a P4 1.5Ghz (same FSB 400Mhz). Am I gonna get much more out of the celeron, if any, than I am out of the P4? how can one measure this really?
Thanks for any insight. and I apologize if I posted in the wrong place.

That is not an upgrade. Keep your P4.
Matt Berry:
Keep the P4, celerons are junk.

That's not good information. Celerons were junk six years ago, they are an okay budget solution now. The real question here that you are ignorig is, (assuming there is a game that needs a 2ghz clock speed) does MAME make use of any of the upgraded features of the P4 over the Celeron (extra cache, etc).
I say keep your P4, especially if you would be paying anything for th upgrade.

I agree, but overall a Celeron 2.0 is still a downgrade for a P4 1.5.
But I still really don't see them as even a good budget solution, they underperform every other chip available at the same price point. We have a few Celeron 2.0 systems at work that can't even seem to hang with my old P3 733 laptop, much less a REAL P4.
