P4 2.0 Ghz VS Celeron 2.4 Ghz

[darkprince]

just savage a bunch of computer parts from some old computers.

And would like to take the best parts and built a decent computer rag for my little cousin to screw around. Which one of these would you say its better CPU to put in?

Thanks

Celeron is usually the 'overly-crippled' version (lower FSB, less L2 cache) of the CPUs to target the value segment of the market. According to the reviews, Celeron 2.8GHz is <<<<< P4 2.4GHz in gaming. So it's pretty safe to say that P4 is the better CPU in this case even though the clock speed is a little lower.

However, when you mix-and-match components, you need to make sure the CPU socket on the motherboard can handle the CPU. They may have different sockets sometimes.

If it's a Celeron D 320, it will be faster. Otherwise P4.
