Which is better ??????

[dcsbass]

This is some of the info. I've been trying to get up to you, for some time.... I want your advice! Would it be easier or better to over clock or buy a new CPU? From the list, that eMachines sent me. I've added more Ram 1M, to 2M. I just want to speed it up so it is fast,and quicker. Making it safe, and better!( N0 Smoke Boiling Out Of Case) The new CPUs are the following: Intel 4's extreme edition Pro.
Speed System Bus Freq. Cache Size Bios Version

3.40GHz 800 MHz 512KB-2MB P13 or greater

3.20 GHz 800 MHz 512KB-2MB " " "

What is in computer,that could be used Intel Celeron D

Processor# PROC. Speed System Bus Freq. Cache Size BIOS Version

345 3.06 GHz 533 MHz 256 KB P23 or better

340 2.95 GHz 533 MHz 256 KB " " "

335 2.80 GHz 533 MHz 256 KB P18 or better

330 2.66 GHz 533 MHz 256 KB " " "

325 2.53 GHz 533 MHz 256 KB " " "

320 2.40 GHz 533 MHz 256 Kb " " "

315 2.26 GHz 533MHz 256 KB " " "

There is about 26 more they sent, Intel Pentium 4's.From 1.60A GHz 400 MHz,512 MB, P11 or better, to 3.40E GHz, 800 MHz, 1MB, P13 or better.

Would I have to change power supplys?
Sorry it is Sooooo looooong.........?????

From my understanding of overclocking, to put it simply, it would be based on the motherboards ability. Your basically pushing higher frequencies or clocks per second(millisecond?) so, the rest of your system would have to handle the stress factors accordingly.

Now, I don't know the bios information, but, since it's an emachine, i don't think it'd be prone to overclocking seeing as they might lock out those things. I don't know if it actually matters on the processor.

looking at the information is very hard to decipher everything your trying to say, it'd be better to put it simply, "which processor is better" and list them.

The older Celeron processors aren't very overclockable. As object said, it's dependent on whether or not your motherboard supports overclocking. Even then you won't get much out of it. You could go out and get one of those processors you listed but all of those are pretty old too. None of which would give you a significant performance increase for the high price. If you're looking at upgrading you might be better off just rebuilding from the ground up.

Thank You, This was Info , I was wanting.:freak:

Yeah tha'ts a Netburst celery you have there. OCing it would be wasting your time. There is no way it will be able to match the performance of a modern Core2 and it's unlikely that Emachines enabled overclocking on the motherboard. Even the super 8ghz Pentium 4 record holder is a fraction the speed of an E6600, which itself is an older model.
