Hi guys,
I recently purchased a Celeron D 325J CPU in hopes of a high o/c, however, my gigabyte 915P board does not have PCI locks, so I cannot overclock it too much past 3GHz without encountering problems. I can't even POST at 800FSb because of memory issues with the board (won't let me lower memory lower than 500MHz DDR @ 800FSB). I bought it as a value setup and I don't have uber memory. So, I guess I'm going to have to spend a little more cash and leap for a P4 2.8E or so, but before I do, is th ere any significant gaming performance differences between them? I bought a 6600 vanilla, and have expected some lower than expected results, probably from only being able to run the Celeron @ 3.05GHz.
Any insight would be helpful.
Thanks
