Paranoid Posted January 17, 2004 Posted January 17, 2004 The 2.6C has a 200x4 FSB, or 800MHz effectively Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eva_Unit_0 Posted January 17, 2004 Posted January 17, 2004 He never said he had a C. The 400fsb chips ended at 2.6 ghz. That is most likely what is causing the performance problems since that means your ram is only running at 100mhz. This results in serious bandwidth issues, and since 3dmark01 becomes VERY cpu/bandwidth dependant when a very powerful video card is present, your score suffers. You'll either need to oc the heck out of that p4 to get the fsb up, or get a C series chip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Posted January 17, 2004 Posted January 17, 2004 I forgot about the 2.6A. <_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuclear Posted January 17, 2004 Posted January 17, 2004 If he is running a 2.6a, he's lucky to be getting what he is. I had totally forgotten about those chips, and actually this is the first in a very long time that I have seen benched. I think that even with a high OC, the CPU will still be really holding him back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louie57703 Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 my cpu is a celeron (p4 died last week and i had to get a celeron).... but still shouldn't a celeron 2.6ghz beat a Pentium 4 1.5GHz though, or was I stupid in getting a 2.6ghz celeron and should have got the 1.5ghz P4? (since it seems to bench better than this celeron) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost2520 Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 NEVER buy Celerons. They are basically only good for word processing. Sorry to say but I would have gone with the 1.5 ghz P4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slugbug3311 Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 I woulda saved up and got a better processer than both of those, but thats my opinion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuclear Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 I woulda saved up and got a better processer than both of those, but thats my opinion Me too, but sometimes you have to make exceptions. Ebay the Celly and get a "C" processor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
