Best Celeron northwood overclocker?

chasingapple · Jan 1, 2004

Im planning on a burner / mp3 box and im going to use a Celeron for it...as I need high clock speeds for speed which one is the best overclocker these days?

Im thinking the 2.4Ghz

P.S. Please hold the "get an AMD CPU" replies

Anyone have experience with the northwood Cely's?

Not really. The Netburst architecture is heavily dependent on cache, and the castrated 128k cache on the Northwood Cellys isn't very good for performance. That's why not many of us have them. A slightly overclocked Tualatin Celly can beat many of the Northwood Cellys at stock.

But, if you really want one and have good ram, get the 2GHz Celeron. You'll be likely to get at least to 3GHz.

Thanks jazztrumpet216, but I decided to build another AMD system as it is cheaper and better all around performance

That was probably a better choice. Northwood Cellies are dogs.

for only mp3 coding the celis are great.
cache, mem-speed, timings, busspeed... all is nothig.
only core speed is needed.

on ebay you can pick-up very ceep celi's.

2.0 to 2.3 = C1
2.5 and 2.6 = D1
2.4 = i'm not sure.
search for malay L or Q
