Is that hot? warm?

 

[T3C]

not bad!

 

[b00b]

looks like they usually sell for around $90 so yeah I guess it's hot... if you can call a celeron hot.

 

[ForgetCassettes]

Mine is certainly hot... about 51C
But yeah I picked one up today. I even talked the guy at the service desk into letting me return a zalman heatsink I bought in December and I swapped it for one of these.

 

[gregtor]

this is probably oem right?

 

[ForgetCassettes]

yeah I put OEM in the title

This Microcenter is rolling man.

The description says 2.8 Ghz Celeron D, but the Manufacturer Part number shows up as a 2.66 Ghz on PriceGrabber.

Does anyone know what is the correct speed of this processor?

Thanks

How well can this overclock ? 800fsb sounds sweet with this...

 

[ForgetCassettes]

I bought this processor today at the Cincinnati store and it is indeed a 2.8 Ghz 335

Where can I find a cheap motherboard to go along with this?

 

[Justus]

Cheap mobo? Shuttle mt63 at mwave for $35 plus shipping. $10 discount is you sign up for their emails. ATI RS300 integrated graphics on a micro-ATX.

Right @ Microcenter, man! Is $10 brand spanking new cheap enough for you? :laugh:

I'm sorry, why would you link to your shopping basket? Doesn't make sense as it shows 'empty'.

VERY tempting! How well will it run as a server? Also, is it just me or is the low cache a concern?

 

[RBBRMADE]

OK, the board has the 8x/4x AGp 3.0 .
Where can I get a cheap AGP that is compatible for it?
Thax,

$76.96 for the combo shipped too good to pass up. Thanks op.

The low cache isn't great of course, but it's very tolerable. You'll find that you can OC this a fair bit (but not up to FSB 800 (200x4). It's stock at 133x4, and you'll probably get 150 without breaking a sweat. With a good heatsink, 166 is feasible for most people.

I've got the chip one step down (2.8 GHz, stock at 400 FSB, and I'm running it at around 120 FSB), and I use it to crunch video all the time, use it for newsgroups, and use it to surf ATHD at the same time. No sweat.

They also have a Sempron combo for $74.98 + shipping. Boxed Sempron 2400+ and Soyo DRAGON Plus v.2.0. Scroll half way down this page. It's listed just below this deal.

Picked up the Celeron combo myself. Was considering building a server, this just made the decision that much easier

 

[cremefilled]

"Beefcake", the Celeron D's are a separate chip. They are based on a 90 nm process; the old one is 130. The Celeron D's generally overclock quite a bit better -- 3.0 should be a minimum, 3.3 to 3.6 with decent cooling, and as high as 4.0. Also, the faster FSB makes a huge difference. And the 256KB cache versus the 128KB cache on your Celeron makes a difference, as well.

Think of the Cel-D's as a faster, cooler-running version of the original 256K cache Pentium 4's.

Both the Sempron and Celeron combo deals are pretty hot, IMO.
