Nice old Northy 3.0. That's an AGP 1950 Pro too, correct? It's been less than a year that I knew an AGP version of that card existed. I bought a couple x1900 PCIe for a crossfire build back in the day & never saw the AGP option.

Yes, AGP x8
In fact I think they made ATI Radeon AGP cards up to the 4600 series till 2007/08.
Almost bought an HIS HD 4670 ICQ AGP, but $$$. Anyway google this card, TPU has it in their GPU database.

Some day I'll revisit these with some overclocking on an Asus P5Q Pro (and P5B-VM for the 533FSB ones as on P5Q Pro they won't post).

Top row: Celeron D 341 (2.93GHz/256kB/533FSB), Pentium 4 524 (3.06GHz/1MB/533FSB), Pentium 4 541 (3.2GHz/1MB/800FSB), Pentium 4 630 (3GHz/2MB/800FSB), Pentium 4 640 (3.2GHz/2MB/800FSB) and Pentium 4 631 (3GHz/2MB/800FSB)
Bottom row: Pentium D 830 (3GHz/2x1MB/800FSB), Pentium E5200 (2.5GHz/2MB/800FSB) and Pentium G3258 (3.2GHz/3MB/dual-core)

Top is a box for a Celeron 430 (that was supposed to be a boxed CPU but was just a box....)
Bottom is a Celeron D 347

I wanted to do a comparison between the Cedar Mill Celeron D 347 and core-based Celeron 420, some of the slowest desktop CPUs capable of running Windows 11, and perhaps compare in older games to see which performs better. Netburst at 2x the clockspeed, or really low end core.

I'm going to have to buy a 420 now since that box didn't include one, but I think it will be interesting to test.

Celeron 420 was my first Conroe-based CPU and back in 2008 it was still capable when OC'd to 3GHz'ish.

My computer from ~2009-2014 was a Dell Inspiron with a Celeron 450, 2gb ram, and onboard Intel GMA running Windows Vista.

Very reliable machine that always worked perfectly, but not exactly quick.

I had the Celeron 420, 2GB DDR2-900 & 6800 GS in 2008, though I upgraded it to an E4300 later on.

Damn, socket 423 Willamette! You don't see those every day. My first P4 was a Dell 1.8Ghz willie & RDRAM. I put a PowerLeap 423 to 478 converter in it and a 2.6Ghz Northwood. I used that system for a number of years despite being ... well, you know.

It's all gone now, except the s478 northwood CPU & the RDRAM (I have an Intel s478 RDRAM mobo). Wish I still had the socket converter for the nostalgia.

Go for it man! These two are actually the slowest 64-bit Intel desktop CPUs officially supported by Win10 (and 11 after some tweaking). I've done the same for Intel vs. AMD on Win7, really looking forward to your tests! :clap:

Nike_486DX · Mar 5, 2022

dont currently have a pentium/celeron machine but i got some screenshots saved from when i tried some oc with a 420 (yeah on a X38 board). Almost 2x increase in performance, straight to some Core 2 duo E4200 or Athlon 64 X2 4400 heights, and i imagine that was also possible to do way back in 2008 when it first launched, given the mobo could handle higher fsb. Such a good value cpu for its time, nowadays celeron is just crap

68Olds · Mar 5, 2022

Maximus Formula - Cool! I have one of those (SE version), but it's seen some hard days. I flashed it to a Formula Rampage X48 BIOS & benched the crap out of it years ago. It still works, but it's in an actual Formula Rampage box in the basement these days.

I should have expected you'd have not only a 423, but one of the best 423s. I have a mediocre board offset with a half decent chip. One day I'd like to try for a TH7 and some cold benches.

OCing was a lot more exciting with 50+% clocks on budget mobos instead of the boring nickel-dimed market segmentation crap we got for the past decade.

My old Celly G530, used it for a while when I first got my Sandy Bridge system. Upgraded to i5-2320 later when it was obvious this little thing couldn't quite cut it.

Heh, I had a G550 as a temporary CPU when I went from AM3 to 1155. Upgraded to 2500K @ 4.7 pretty soon as like you said, that wasn't that much of a performer.

I have P4T also.
Believe it or not, it clocks better than than the Abit board.

That may be, but the Abit has extra onboard goodies that make life easier. Also seems to have more mod options. Not complaining about the P4T-F, it's plenty stable and usable. Just wish it had a little more.

I'm on the lookout for one of those. They appear to be as rare as hen's teeth now.

My first two Slot 1 processors were both Celerons - 300a @450, and then 533a @800

But after the Athlon XP, AMD's lower prices kept me out if the Celeron doghouse!

My only Penium was a haswell dual-core bundle I picked-up from Microcenter (now replaced with a 4790k, also from Microcenter clearance)

phanbuey · May 9, 2022

I would love if they brought back the i5 as a pentium. I remember pentium and celeron brands very fondly. It always felt great to build a fast system with an overclocked celery.

We sure would love something like Micro Center here in the UK. All we get is Currys-PC World, and places like CeX. :rolleyes:

I have a 2.4Ghz Northwood Celeron in the attic. I haven't turned it on in a very long time. I think I have an old Radeon 9200 and DDR-400 at max capacity for it IIRC. It's been a while since I've looked. That was the first PC I had built from a barebone kit with case, motherboard, and PSU.
