Celeron to P4 CPU

Would upgrading from a Celeron 1.8Ghz CPU to a P4 1.7Ghz have any noticeable improvement on speed at all? :)

I doubt it. I think the only difference between a Celeron and a Pentium processor is the amount of cache; a P4 has more than a Celeron, which is why it is more expensive. But since you would be taking a 100 Mhz hit in clock speed, I bet you wouldn't come out too much faster, if faster at all.

Are you thinking of buying this P4 as an upgrade? If so, I would recommend shelling out a few extra bucks and going with at least something in the 2.5 Ghz range.

By the way, rock on with the Rammstein! Reise, Reise is fantastic!

Im limited on what I can upgrade to as my Celeron is Socket 478 with 400FSB and I understand that only low end P4's have thoughs specs.

On another note, I've found a Celeron 2.4Ghz, I wonder if that would be worth it.

Yer, Rammstein rock! :D

Grrrrr... me no like Intel...me like AMD =)

I have an AMD 2400+ equivelent, and it's very good, plays most games, does most apps pretty quickly. It's not top-of-the-line (The newest AMD dual core literally has two of them), but it provides plenty of basic functionality.

If you are thinking about upgrading in the future, consider getting a 939 socket motherboard.

That is not what this topic is about.
