Forum Overview :: American McGee's Honda Civic :: Re: How much difference is there between a Celeron and a Pentium 4?

[quote name="laudablepuss"][quote name="Mischief Maker"]If I upgrade from my 2.5 Gig Celeron to a 2.5 gig Pentium 4 will I see a significant improvement? Or will that only be for games that are designed for that architecture? (Not Sacrifice, Freespace 2, etc)[/quote] By architecture, are you talking about hyperthreading? I believe only the P4s have that (as opposed to the Celerons), so yeah, if you had an app that took advantage of that you <i>might</i> see an improvement. I don't really know what hyperthreading is supposed to do, so it's hard to say. Hyperthreading . . . maybe the CPU reaches into another dimension to retrieve future instructions which it can <s>subsequently</s> execute in the past. That'd be a pretty cool feature.[/quote]
