(also posted this in the Intel CPU section, but since this concerns SETI and our team
Maybe this helps the ongoing debate about P4-Celerons and 'how-bad-the-P4-Willamette-is-when-compared-to'. Average SETI WU times tell it all, both rigs running WinXPpro SP1 and SETI CLC3.03. The Celeron system used to be my main rig before I upgraded to the system in my signature. The Willamette system is what I recently upgraded my kid's rig to, coming from a P3-667. Both have been running SETI for a few weeks, the Willamette will continue to do so in aid of the overclockers.com team ofcourse!
P4 Willamette 1.7Ghz 400FSB, Asus P4B-MX i845, 512MB Infineon PC133-222. CPU running default, RAM @3:4 133Mhz CL2-2-2-6. Average WU time: 4 to 4.5 hours
Celeron Northwood 2.0Ghz 400FSB, Asus P4PE i845PE, 512MB Samsung PC2700-333. CPU OCed to 2.66Ghz 533FSB, RAM @4:5 166Mhz (DDR333) CL2.5-3-3-6.
Average WU time: 5 to 6 hours
I have always been fairly optimistic about the P4-based Celerons but I had no idea they were doing this bad. Eventhough the Willamette has twice the L2, she isn't OCed and has to deal with SDRAM for crying out loud!
