Yes, Celeron D looks good. But, going from 2.4 to 3.6 is a big O/C.

Is there any goods with the Celeron D315 or the 325J ? The 315 for its
lower clock ratio, and the J CPU because it may make less heat that a
classical prescott.



About all I can tell you is that mine is 100% stable. Warm, but stable.

Needless to say, you don't need to go for an even 800 mhz FSB speed. 667
is good too.

Maybe the 315 version would be better because if you do get it up to 3.6
Ghz or so, you'd have a faster bus speed than mine. Which should equal
better performance. I should note that I've run mine as high as 3.7 Ghz at
stock voltage with 100% stability. But I didn't like seeing temps
approaching 70 C.

check out this article.
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu...celeron-d.html Its from
almost a year ago, before the latest Celeron D core came out, but if I
remember correctly, they got one of the 2.8 processors up to 3.8 or
something like that. In this article, they compare it to the sempron
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu...y/sempron.html

I have no experience with the J versions for Socket T, however, that does
include the Execute Bit Disable feature. Not sure if your particular
flavor of Linux supports that or not. If you go with the Socket T version,
maybe you'll get a newer core stepping and get even more speed.

Hope some of that helps. In my opinion, the lower speed Celeron D's are
the best bang for the buck processors out there right now. At least if you
plan to overclock.

And finally, I've got some Artic Silver on its way to my house. So
sometime in the next few days I hope to replace the stock thermal grease
with the Artic Silver. I'll try to remember to post the results of that
experiment back here for you.
