P3 1.0Ghz or Celeron 1.4Ghz
Hi, I need your opinion on which cpu is better.
Here's my situation: low budget, mainly for internet and watch video, also record tv with my tv-tuner and play some games (of course not the very new ones). I have a gigabyte GA-6VXC7-4X-P motherboard with 384MB of SDRAM pc133. My mobo supports the P3 but not the celeron (Tualatin). I can buy the P3 for 65$ (CAN) and the celeron with an adaptater for tualatin for 82$ (CAN, total). My mobo is supposed to be compatible with the adaptater, but someone told me it's not that good and unstable ... ( I can buy a celeron 1.3 for 2.5$ less, 1.2 for 5$ less, compared to the 1.4) So which one is better?

I have a P3-1Ghz running on an Intel D815EEA2-L mobo at home, and a Celeron 1.3Ghz running on an HP box at work. I'll take the P3 any day of the week.

celeron is a step down from p3's at those speeds.

Re: P3 1.0Ghz or Celeron 1.4Ghz
yeah go for the P3 it has better MMX support (i believe, i might be accidently bsing you)
plus celerons have less cache, which means less performance :D

Re: P3 1.0Ghz or Celeron 1.4Ghz
On tomshardware.com, they did a benchmark with many cpu.
They scored the celeron 1.3Ghz almost eveytime faster than the p3 1.0Ghz. So, the celeron 1.4 should be faster, but it cost me around 25% more to get it? So...

Re: P3 1.0Ghz or Celeron 1.4Ghz
You're the only one who can really answer that.
In my experience, the Celeron is quicker, and it's also much more overclockable, but for general tasks I would doubt if there would be a large difference. What size processor do you have at the moment? There is only so much you can do with dated hardware, and if you already have a somewhat decent processor, I would think about saving for another motherboard and updating.

Re: P3 1.0Ghz or Celeron 1.4Ghz
Celly's are better for OC-ing. On my Soyo 7VCM mobo, i could only get my P3 1.0 Gig up to 1033. OOOOH 1.033 Gig big jump! *sarcasm* So yes, out of the box, its not the best, but once you get goin on it, you got something good.
