Gigabyte GA-6BXC and CELERON 1000Mhz

[Guest]

Hi anyone,
Is it possible to use CELERON 1000Mhz (FCPGA) with Gigabyte GA-6BXC?
Thanks for your help,
regards

The only problem I can see is that a Celeron 1000 Mhz does not exist...

Don´t know about the board though. There is a guy on this forum that seems to be having a love affair with Gigabyte though his name is something like xxsk8erxxx, you should ask him:9

Good luck & have you checked out Gigabytes website?

Intel has a part number for it, it will come, just isn't here yet.

Independant thought is good.
It won't hurt for long.

I think Celeron 1000 exists. See

Anyway, thanks for the griff

Guess I didn´t do my homework...You can order it at a dozen of places here in sweden. Any luck on the board?

Gigabyte support says, that this MB supports PIII upto 850Mhz. It means Celeron 1000Mhz is not supported, at least "officially"

Intel has internal multiplier locks. So your motherboard, since it supports Coppermines, should have no problems with the Celeron 1000.

Thanks for good news. I'm wondering if bios couldn't make some troubles. Because if I'm looking at bios updates, it usually says: Supports Celeron 533A to 700 CPU(FC-PGA)...

 

[Crashman]

OK, we know it supports the 700, which has a 10.5x multiplier, so no speed errors there. And it supports a 100MHz FSB. The Celeron 1000 is 10x100. Whether or not it will actually SHOW the right speed is a question, but it will RUN that speed.

It looks hopefully. I cannot choose but try it 🙂 Thanks.

 

[Crashman]

There you are-I would personally suggest the PIII 700E at 933 (133FSB overclock), since this SERIOUSLY outperforms ALL Celerons at ANY speed. And an Evercool ND-8 cooler. And an Abit Slotket III.

Not challenging your knowledge (maybe I should for a good in depth answer LOL), but why does that particular Celeron run so well?

[Crashman]

I said the PIII 700 at 933 outperforms all Celerons. Why? Because it's a PIII? OK, I tested a PIII 700 against a Celeron 850 personally (same bus speed BTW) on the SAME SYSTEM and the slower PIII beet the faster Celeron in every benchmark I used by about 15%. So you would need a 950 just to match the 700. In that respect, the fastest Coppermine that will ever be offered (the yet to be released Celeron 1100) couldn't even beet the PIII 850. and the PIII 933 has a higher bus speed. The Celeron won't be much good until the Tualatin Celeron is introduced at 1200MHz.

Begging your pardon. [tugs at forelock (yes fore<b>lock</b>)]

My eyes aren't what they were since I started tugging my forelock.

I just notice you recommend this CPU oc'd rather than an 850 or a 1000. Is it due to bang per buck?

<b><font color=blue>~scribble~</font color=blue></b>

 

[Crashman]

Yes, bang for the buck is the ONLY reason to buy a Celeron 1000, if he wanted CHEAP he would choose the Celeron 850. The PIII 700 goes for just a few dollars more than the Celeron 1000, but gives almost equal performance (maybe 5% less) at stock 700 speed. At 933 it wipes the Celeron 1000. In fact at 933 it wipes the Celeron at 1100, which is as high as the Coppermine Celeron will ever go.

So why not buy a 933 to begin with? It's 50% more expensive than the 700.

For about the same budget as the Celeron 1000 you can get the 700E and push it to 933, which provides much greater performance.

Back to you Tom...

 

[camieabz]

Cool. Cheers!

PIII 700 is 30% more expensive than the Celeron 1000.

[Crashman]

Wow, really? Where do you live? The best price on Pricewatch for the Celeron 1000 is $91. The best price for the PIII 700 is $97.

While the PIII 700 will perform well enough to MATCH a 950MHz Celeron, the PIII 700 can be overclocked easily to 933 using ANY 133MHz capable PIII motherboard. Meanwhile, the Celeron cannot be overclocked to match the PIII 700@933.

In fact the fastest Coppermine processor that Intel has ever sucessfully produced is an 1100MHz Celeron, and that can't even match a stock PIII 866 for performance.

And the 700@933 performs exactly as the PIII 933 does, which is even better than the stock 866, and far better than the Celeron 1100, which is still better than the Celeron 1000. So you see how things go downhill for the Celeron 1000 which is only 6% cheaper than the PIII 700.

I live in Czech Republic. PIII 700 is 6300Kc($137) and Celeron 1000 is 4000Kc($108).

I'm afraid, I cannot run PIII 700 at 933, because I have old 100Mhz RAM :-(

Oops, PC100, sucks to be you!

Ram is cheap dude.

[Crashman]

We don't know that it's cheap in the Czech republic.
