It sucks balls. I seriously think its slower than my old one. It seems to be a RAM problem (It only came with 256MB PC2700 DDR), so I ordeded a 512MB stick to throw in. We’ll see if that helps out.
get ready for the i told you so’s
you got the celeron, right?
You can try the RAM… otherwise, shut it down when you aren’t using it.
i haven’t had any trouble with my 2.2 ghz celeron.
well, I downloaded a system optomizer last night and it has a Memory optomizer that tells you how much RAM you are using and how much you have left. Routinely I drop down to ~30MB and thats when it really seems to choke up. I really think its the RAM. 512 more oughta perk it up. $35 from Newegg :bowdown:
RAM sgould help…but the main reason they are slower are bus speed & caching.
pentiums have a lot more instruction cache space then a celeron.
optimizers are bullshat
the celery processor is your problem
celery processor?
X2 thats just something else running to take up more memory
where’s that douchebag asshole that tells me i’m wrong about processors???
sux darkstar…
Celeron = poop.
what’dya know… the people who work with these machines all the time were right
how many times has your registry been raped by all the gay porn sites you frequent?
im not saying that the optimizer is doing much, but it does give a constant reading on how much free RAM is available in the System Tray. And its getting REALLY low, so it obviously needs more RAM. I really think that will bring this thing to life. If not, it was only $350 bucks.
