have you played Doom 3 or HL2 on a Celeron without a PCI card?003 said:Celerons will NOT run doom 3/hl2 good AT ALL. I used to have a celeron 1.7, and I played UT2004, it ran like CRAP. Now this is when I also had a PCI video card, so it would run like crap anyway, but UT2004 is a very CPU intensive game, and when I upgraded it to a P4 2.0, I got at LEAAST 10fps more in ALL areas.
I have, and they work fine.
and you are comparing a 2.0 P4 with a 1.7 Celeron. of course the Pentium 4 will be faster. it has a clock speed and cache advantage (I'm assuming they are the same core, probabbly Northwood) but you were also using a PCI video card. that pretty much says it.
PCI cards are not meant for high-end gaming
