whats faster????

[sasrob]

is a 1.5gig p4 faster then a 2.2gig celeron i'm not to sure i would think that the p4 should be faster as it's there top processor but just not sure ????

I doubt that it would be faster; you are talking about roughly 50% more clock on the Celeron than on the P4. I'm sure there are some things the P4 would be good at, but I doubt overall performance of the P4 would exceed that of the Celeron at the clock speeds mentioned. However, I am not steeped in the mythos of these chips, so I am just offering a barely informed opinion.

P4

No absolutes....First of all, you are talking about 2 dogs.
That said, one will be faster at certain things, and slower in others. What do you measure performance by? gaming, folding, or something else?

[Gizmo]

Bear in mind, gentlemen, that both the P4 and the Celeron in question are clocked at 100 MHz FSB (quad pumped); the only substantive difference here is in the cache AFAIK. Although the difference in cache is substantial, I don't see how it can make up for a 46% increase in clock speed.

I tend to agree with Giz (not that I like it, LOL).
Although the Celeron lacks the cache, it has enough extra juice to make up for it.

IMO the performance will be quite similer, but I would put the celeron ahead by a whisker.

It's becoming a bad habbit, and not to mention an expensive habbit at that.
