bluemaverick Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 choosing old chip PIII800 or 1.2Ghz Celeron for a game server.....any advice? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvaderTrax Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 DEFINITELY go with the PIII. I used a 2.6GHz Celeron before, and it was like a 1GHz PIII Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FxXP Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 Hopefully the game server is not running anything intensive with just an 800MHz processor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 (edited) I'd go with the Celeron because the 1.2 had 256k L2, and a 100 MHz FSB. Edited February 17, 2005 by Paranoid Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
airman Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 paranoid are you serious? that's BAD lol...considering that now the cellys have only 128k cache Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 (edited) Yes I'm serious. They were actually decent chips for a while. Also forgot to mention they were 0.13 micron, because they were based on the Tualatin core. Straight from Intel's site - Processor Frequency: 1.20 GHz Package Type: 370 pin PPGA Core Voltage: 1.500 Bus Speed: 100 MHz Thermal Guideline: 32.0W Thermal Spec: 69 Edited February 17, 2005 by Paranoid Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 I would go with the celeron as well if it was me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FxXP Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 I have to admit, the Celeron would be the better chip. It has the same cache levels as a PIII coppermine. Tualatin PIII came with 512KB L2 afterwards. Heh, the packaging from Intel is wrong Para. This is how it was for Socket 370: Mendocino: PPGA Coppermine: FCPGA Tualatin: FCPGA2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 (edited) Meh, I just copied and pasted. This is a useful tool for Intel processors. Edited February 17, 2005 by Paranoid Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
