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)


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 might 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 subsequently execute in the past. That'd be a pretty cool feature.
