3D Mark01SE

3,846

I'm running a Celeron 2.9 ghz processor, 768 ram, MX4000 128mb PCI Card.
Beat that! Lol j/k

mix a 9800pro with that system and you'll get somewhere around 5.9k...i was getting that with a 2.7ghz celeron and 512mb pc-2700 ram

Now I was thinking about upgrading my 2.9ghz Celeron (256 kb L2 Cache, 533 FSB) to a Pentium 4 Prescott 2.4 Ghz (1MB L2 Cache, 533 FSB).

Would I see a difference in gaming between the two processors?

 

[mighty_chick]

yes but i would try to get a 2ghz or so, dont wanna drop too low in ghz exspecally with an intel

 

[Jayj2k1]

The processor I'm looking at is a P4 2.4ghz processor with 533 FSB and 1MB L2 Cache. That is way faster than what I have right now.

I am putting the processor on the mobo that came with the Emachines. If I want to overclock that bad boy, I need to purchase a different motherboard of the same chipset family right?

 

[mighty_chick]

yup

 

[Jayj2k1]

Ok So if I do grab and another mobo and overclock the processor, what else would i need to keep it cool because I do read how everyone who overclocks it need more fans. Would I be able to put everything I need in that Emachines case or do you think I should get new case, new everything?

I am beginner at installing processors and such so do you think for now I should just upgrade the processor in the Emachines tower and leave it alone? I think that should be good enough. Give me some input on both ways though.

 

[mighty_chick]

just get a zalman copper/aluminum heat sink for the cpu and you should be find

GPU: 2x6600gt's @ 565/1100
RAM:corsair XMS 2x512mb

i have an:
amd athlon x2 4800
evga 6800gt 512 mb
asus a8n32-sli deluxe mobo
wd raptor 74 gigs
and the ram is not quite compatible with my system but the one i used was a registered ram where as my mobo doesnt support it.

i got 4999, i know this has to be wrong, do you think the ram was the only thing messing up.

nothing is oced
