PIV Celeron?

[Guru]

Will be upgrading my main games/web editing/photoshop computer soon and I was just wondering if anyone have tried one of this chips(1.7GHz)!

EDIT: Currently runnig a PIII 700 @ 940MHz, 384MB PC133 CAS2, BX chipset, raid 0, G400 Max setup!

Since you don't mind O/C'ing I would go for a P4 1.6A or 1.8A
and then run it for two weeks or so in default config and then I would O/C it to >2.4 Ghz.

And I would run it on an ASUS P4S533 Board !

Oh Yeah !

That was the board I had in mind ( Unless MSI comes out with one!)

Will there be any dual cpu mainboard for these processors ?
(cpu's are most likely dual-capable)

Get the 1.6A, I just got it and overclocked it to 2.4 without any trouble, running at 1.550 volts, could goto 2.6 but don't like running at 1.7 and my asus mobo deviates the voltage by .05 volts....

No one sells them in finland anymore!

these CPU's are not dual capable. the P4 architecture did not (officially, at more than likely technically too) support SMP until the release of the Xeon processors. these also use a different socket, more pins, etc.

Thanks,

I thought the Celeron officially didn't support dual-configurations, but did do technically. I thought the PIV might be similar (I have read it supports multithreading technically).

the older celerons did support dual processors, with some modifications. those were the ones under 533Mhz in a PPGA packaging. the newer flipchip celerons do not support SMP.

the P4 core technically probably does support both SMP and SMT, but SMP would require a different packaging (as the P4 packaging does not have many of the pins required for SMP operation iirc) and SMT would require additional logic on the processor. the P4 might also require additional logic for SMP operation, as intel claimed that the core did not support it upon release. who knows tho.
