Celeron Vs Dual Core

6GB!.

I seriously need to invest in a new PC, cause photoshop sucks it like a b^&$h when you got Mcafee running on 512MB! lolol

 

Get a duo, or if you can afford one a quad, they are so fast!

 

wrong...dual core=stripped down version of core2duo. It is ALSO used to refer to processors with 2 cores

Only Intel and AMD for the consumer market...

I've already explained this earlier...please go through my other posts in this topic

They are already there....but used in servers

I guess I've said what you said in the first para earlier too.

Let me get this clear, I used to have a celeron 1.7 GHz a few months back, When i used to run Opera, Firefox, YIM, Pidgin etc on it, it used to lag. Now I have a dual core 2GHZ, and all those applications along with more run like a breeze. The difference in not slight, dual cores gives 10 times more performance

 

What was your RAM buddy?. Did you just the change the processor or any other upgradation?

 

Ram was 512MB
Processor, motherboard, ram, hdd
processor- Celeron->dual core
ram- SD-DDR2
Hdd- 80GB(IDE)->500GB(SATA)

 

Celeron is better for low budget, I first celeron family desktop 1.7 Ghz. then 2.4 ghz, they all was good, if your budget you can purchase Dual Core..
thanks

 

Thanks for the reply crownrahul , yea sure I have a Dual Core in mind

500 GB, that's sweet !!!!

actually that might be the difference, you had a 80 gb IDE and a 512 mb ram and then you upgraded to a 500 GB SATA.

You gonna see a speed difference for sure

 

Thanks...
I guess I told this earlier...
Bigger Hdds, floppy drives etc etc, slow down the speed and not increase them

 

celerons are basically dual cores with a processor disabled and underclocked and other features disabled


dual cores ftw?

 

LOL
Seriously....made me laugh like hell
I will believe your theory if you explain this to me:
Why would Intel develop a dual core, disable one of the cores, underclock it, disable other advanced features and then sell for less than half the price? And then remove the limitations and release it after AMD released it's dual core?

Note to others: Don't believe Meth_'s theory, He's seriously misinformed
No offence mate but it simply doesn't make any sense

 

the stripped down version is either core duo or core solo (now rebranded as celeron processors)
dual core just means two cores

 

LOL !!!!!

That was a laugh of the day, hats off to your humour, BTW it made sense

 

Because not every processor made is upto the "standards" for a dual core processor (it's a very hard process getting them correct) and most of the time there's just a fault with ONE core, so they disable ONE core and everything faulty with it and rebrand the processor as a celeron


see: AMD triple core processors

 

I won't get into an argument...
dual core is the stripped down version or core2duo
Celeron is a stripped down version of PIII

 

http://gizmodo.com/373185/amd-phenom-x3-triple-core-processors-are-crippled-quad-cores-in-disguise

AMD's example of this process

and I'm sure you can find an article about the new celerons being crippled core 2 duos :roll:

 

find me a processor branded "dual core"
where the reference "dual core" isn't telling people that there's more than one core


there's pentium #/pro ect
pentium D (which you might be confusing for "dual core")
core 2 duo
core duo
core solo
celeron

 

Celeron's are crippled core2duos?
DUDE SERIOUSLY!!!!
Celeron's are stripepd down PIII....
Hold on, I'll try to find you a article on some reputed website so that you can clear your facts
*starts googling

not confusing....
pentium D=2 prescott processors
dual core is different

My cousion has a Pentium D and it says Pentium D in his system properties and not Pentium Dual-core.

And yea, even if this doesn't satisfy you, there's nothing more I can do

 

we're not living in 2004 anymore
celerons have advanced with every other processor Intel has made
and advancement with a crippled P3....?

:Z

 

The advanced version is called Celeron D and celeron dual-core and not Celeron.
And here we are discussing about Celerons

aye, I thought you meant a while new brand named "Intel dual core", not Pentium dual core... in that case yeah you're right

it's still Intel "pentium" dual core
