is the celeron M processor the same as the pentium M processor?

"Celeron" chips were made with the intention to be "Pentium chips" but they are the ones that fall short of the specifications required to meet the standards of Pentium chips (operating speed, etc.)  In most industries when a manufactured product isn't up to par or "defective" it is discarded.  The Intel company decided that instead of throwing them away, they would make money on them by slapping a cool name on them and put them into computers anyway.\n\nCelerons are substandard and you should never sell yourself and your computer short by letting one into your house.

MCE = Media Centre Edition\nIt has a few more "bells and whistles" than regular XP ... but it is a lot more resource hungry meaning most comps that ship with MCE have 1GB Ram  .... if yours doesn't .... it will lag so get them to boost to 1GB\nThe Celeron Processor will let you down .... (the ram is fine) ... you need something with at least a Pentium M processor or better still a Core Duo Processor

for processor: between 1.6 GHz and 2.8 GHz is good for intel prcessors(Pentium 4,celeron, Pentium M), 400-533 MHz for bus speed.

Basically Intel and AMD are rival processors. They both are same in capability. AMD is new in market, so no one is aware about its capacity. But Intel is quite old one which has gained much publicity and trust in people. I heard AMD is more  powerful than Intel processors. \n\nIf you want to use computers for high end job like graphics design, 3d, animations then i recommend Intel Pentium. If it is for normal use like Office, emails n nets then Celeron would do for you.

it's not that confusing because\n- 1st and 2nd mentioned is the same\n- 3rd and 4th mentioned is also the same\n- the Turion 64 Mobile is the competitor of the Pentium M\n- another AMD 64 processor for notebooks is the AMD Mobile Athlon 64\nboth mentioned AMD 64 Mobile and the Pentium M are single core processors, while the Intel Core Duo is a dual core processor.\n\nConclusion: go for the Core Duo, this is the state of the art.

Sadly, the Pentium D's are pretty much 2 scaled-back Pentium 4 Northwoods slapped onto a single chipset. It's not a new architecture. They pretty much use the same decoding instructions.

Basically, the difference is price, speed, and quality. Intel Celeron processors are cheaper that Intel Pentium 4s, but they are generally slower and will slow down further after a few years (if they last that long before breaking) due to poor construction. The difference between the Celeron D and the Celeron M is minimal, if not non-existent. A Celeron M is designed to be used for laptops (M stands for mobile), so it may take a little less power and run a little cooler (in exchange for a little less speed) than the Celeron Ds--which are designed for desktops where power consumption and heat isn't as big of an issue. In my opinion, Celerons (of any type) are the worst processor you can buy.\n\nHowever, AMD makes faster, more reliable, less expensive processors. The AMD Sempron competes with the Celeron, the AMD Turion competes with the Centrino (or Pentium M), the AMD Athlon competes with the Pentium 4, and the AMD Athlon X2 competes with Intel’s new dual-core processors. In all categories the AMD processors are superior in all aspects; especially the Sempron. Although the Sempron competes with the Celeron and is considerable less expensive, the Sempron is not poorly constructed so it does not have any reliability issues; not to mention that, in some cases, it has the speed to outperform Pentium 4s.

Those numbers represent how fast they are compared to a Pentium 4 processor.  First a little explanation is in order, AMD 64 and Athlon processors have more L1/L2 cache than comparable Pentium 4 processors in some cases but all AMD processors have faster data pathways and can process information more efficiently than a Pentium 4 processor.  So when for example when you see an AMD 64 4000+ running at 2.4GHz that does not mean a single thing as far as clock speed goes.  Intel is famous for milking the clock speed which is no longer the determinant when it comes to the performance of a processor.  Back to the AMD designations, the 4000+ (or any XXXX+) designation tells you that in this case with 4000+ it performs to the equivalent of a Pentium 4 running at 4GHz which Intel has been unable to produce, they top out at 3.8GHz.  So a 2700+ is the equivalent of a Pentium 4 at 2.7GHz, 3200+ is the equivalent of a Pentium 4 at 3.2GHz and so on.\n\nBut note that the lower end Sempron has the same designations of XXXX+ like a Sempron 3000+ but it is not being compared to a Pentium 4.  The Sempron 3000+ means it performs like an Intel Celeron clock at 3.0GHz.\n\nSo when you see the "+" designation on an Athlon it is being compared to a Pentium 4 and the "+" designation on a Sempron is being compared to a Celeron.\n\nIf you want a further explanation of why AMD processors can get by with slower clock speeds and still operate faster than Intel offerings, see these benchmarks over at Toms Hardware and note how all the AMD Athlon chips are at the top of the chart, http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/11/21/the_mother_of_all_cpu_charts_2005/page24.html

P4 is the standard chip\nCeleron is the cheap version of the chip\nXeon is the expensive version and is mainy used for network servers.\n\nGeneral use, the Celeron or P4 are just fine.  If price is of concern, go with the Celeron.  Performance is less than the P4 chip, but for everyday general use, it is not a significant difference.

Here are the most important similarities and differences between the Pentium 4 and the Celeron chips coming out today: \nCore - The Celeron chip is based on a Pentium 4 core. \n\nCache - Celeron chips have less cache memory than Pentium 4 chips do. A Celeron might have 128 kilobytes of L2 cache, while a Pentium 4 can have four times that. The amount of L2 cache memory can have a big effect on performance. \n\nClock speed - Intel manufactures the Pentium 4 chips to run at a higher clock speed than Celeron chips. The fastest Pentium 4 might be 60 percent faster than the fastest Celeron. \n\nBus speed - There are differences in the maximum bus speeds that the processors allow. Pentium 4s tend to be about 30 percent faster than Celerons. \nWhen you sort all this out and compare the two chips side by side, it turns out that a Celeron and a Pentium 4 chip running at the same speed are different beasts. The smaller L2 cache size and slower bus speeds can mean serious performance differences depending on what you want to do with your computer. If all you do is check e-mail and browse the Web, the Celeron is fine, and the price difference can save you a lot of money. If you want the fastest machine you can buy, then you need to go with the Pentium 4 to get the highest clock speeds and the fastest system bus. \nalso u can check out this site for more info:\nhttp://computer.howstuffworks.com/question268.htm

laptop processors naturally are slower than desktop ones. I'm sure Amd can run all the applications intel can. your celeron probably can't run some programs smoothly but it can probably run them slowly.

Both are made by Intel - I don't personally see any real difference in performance from the type of chip (either Celeron or Pentium).\n\nWhat you really need to know is the clockspeed, not the chip name.\n\nThe PC you buy should reflect what purpose it will be used for. If it's just word documents etc, you only need an entry level PC, but for high powered graphics editing, serious gaming etc, you'll want a higher spec one.\n\nPCs on the market today are getting to the 4GHz mark (that's 4 GigaHertz) for the really high spec models.\n\nDepending on what you want to buy, you need to understand that the higher the clockspeed, the faster the PC will be.\n\nAdditionally, you should check out how much RAM it has. For docs, you can go for 128/256 MB RAM, but higher spec PCs are getting produced with upwards of 1024 MB\n\nHard disk size is merely to do with the amount of data you will store on it. Standard is 80GB last time I checked, but there are PCs out there with 250GB etc. As with the above, it's all to do with requirement and bigger is better. Remember with this though that text takes up less space than graphics.\n\nHope this helps.

No, not excatly.  A Core Duo processor is made by Intel and is their version of a dual core processor.  Note that a Core Duo processor is 32-bit only.  AMD makes the Athlon 64x2 (dual core) and Turion 64x2 (mobile dual core).  So technically speaking a dual core processor and core duo processor are not the same thing BUT a Core Duo is a dual core processor.  It breaks down like this:\n\nNote that all AMD dual core processors are 64-bit, this is not the case with Intel.\n\nDual Core Processors\nIntel Core Duo (aka Centrino Duo)\nAMD Athlon 64x2\nAMD Athlon FX-60\nAMD Athlon FX-62\nAMD Turion 64x2\nIntel Pentium D (exact model numbers escape me but not all Pentium D processors are dual core)

There are a lots of difference between the other processor's cache and celeron's cache. It's less performing and small in size. Celeron has less Cache so that they can sell processors in cheap price. And most of all the processors with small cache size are focused to serve any special purpose. But for multipurpose computers it isn't a good thing to have less cache and all levels. More information can be found in the processor's manufacturer's web site.

First you need to do some research into your motherboard, to find out what processors it supports.\n\nWith that, you can then choose the fastest one supported.  If you have an older motherboard, you would probably be better off changing the motherboard and the processor.\n\nYou can easily get brand new 64 bit Sempron 3000 motherboard and CPU sets for under $200.  And you can get similar prices on new Celeron CPUs and boards.  When you take into account the advances in RAM speed, SATA, PCIe, and other options it normally makes more sense to replace both CPU and board if the system is over 2 years old.

I always tell people to stay away from celeron processors.  Sure they're cheaper, but you get what you pay for.  A laptop with a pentium M processor is probably going to be smaller than one with an AMD.  AMD processors run a little hotter, so they require more space, but they are also slightly faster.  What I would go for though is the new Intel Core Duo processor.  It has two processing cores on one chip so it's a lot faster.  I think Dell just released an inspiron with one in it.  Apple's got them in a laptop as well.  I'm sure there are also many other companies that are going to have them in their machines as well.  But if you have to chose between the three you listed above, go with pentium or amd.  You really wont notice much of a difference between the two.  Just stay away from celeron.
