GET THAT CELERON OUT OF THAT SYSTEM!

YOU FOOL! Do know that the celeron kills ALL possible performance of any

system!

LOL, yes, good advices, I will upgrade to a P4 when finances allow. Does an
extra 384 Kb of cash really make that much difference??

But no-ones answered my question about just what in 3DMark2001 SE test #2 is
so tough on my system?


If it only was the 384 Kb then it would be not a joke as now, it's the
whole design of the P4.

The P4 needs as much cache has it's can get, it dies or lives with
it's cache. And since the P4 Celeron is castrated to 128kb cache it
has not enough to effectively do it's job.

You'll find out that a real P4 "feels" 10 x as fast and has the
performance of at atleast 3x as fast.

The 3dmark2001 tests are all simple..except that that last test, the
nature test. Untill I got a ti4x00 I never could run it.
