A mate of mine has a 2.66 ghz celeron d, 533 fsb and 256kb L2 cache. Mine's a 2.4ghz pentium 4 with 533 fsb and 512kb L2 cache. Which would be better, and does the cache make a big difference?

mainly depends on what you're trying to do, but for the most part the extra cache for intel based netburst chips matters a lot. the same isn't true for AMD though.

so which would be better for gaming? and what about general use (eg msn, music, surfin the net, word, etc.)

Your PC is better for gaming purposes.
Surfin,MSN,Word...even a lame (read low-end :D)PC can do that.

  • AMD brand for gaming.
  • Pentium models for media tasks.
  • Celeron models for basic tasks (surf, MSN, Word, etc).

266 Mhz is nothing these days.
If you have a powerful video card that really is nothing.
Why are you so worried ? :confused:

well, he kept saying his computer was better than mine, the specs are the same but his graphics card is a 9800se, mine's a 9600pro, plus i have a p4 and he has is a celeron. i wanted to see what other people had to say, but he holds a slight advantage in graphics card though. it's no biggie though.

I think he said 266 MHz slower, not that he has 266 MHz.
