windin Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Guys currently running 10.4.8 on an SSE2 only P4 2.6 Northwood, the bus speed of the mobo I am using maxes out at 533MHz and is skt 478, because this is a shoe box puc replacing the mobo is at the moment a none starter so I cant find a Prescott core P4 to fit this because all the ones I have found run at 800Mhz FSB, however I can get a Celeron D running at 2.6GHz or higher running at the right FSB for my mobo but as its based on the Prescott core it has SSE3 so to wrap up if I ditch the P4 for the Celeron D am I going to get a speed improvement out of this?

Synaesthesia Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I don't think you will. You might, but I don't think it's worth the effort. If you can put in a pentium d that would be better just because of the benefit of having two cores, I think it's worth waiting rather for the core 2 price drops in april, or for the Pentium e2000 series. That will be a serious speed increase at not too much money.

Danyel Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Dear Windin: I've installed Myzar 10.4.6 on several Dell Desktop machines. Some had Celeron and some had P4. I have not noticed too much difference between the processors. The speed mainly depended on Graphics (whether Core Image and Quartz Extreme were supported) and Memory (512MB Minimum with 1GB Preferred).
