Better Than Registry Fix Programs | What Is The Equivalent Pentium Processor To A Intel Celeron 2.6 Ghz Processor?

By admin | June 19, 2011

I have a laptop that ‘claims’ it has an Intel celeron 2.8GHz CPU, but though I have minimal stuff installed on it and have set it so very few programmes run in the background (I dont have Norton antivirus or any other RAM or CPU hog) it runs very slowly and haltingly if I run more than 2 or 3 programmes, or ask it to do things that a laptop with a 1.6 gig pentium processor handles easily. I dont have any virus’ and regularly run software package program to fix registry problems and clear internet and temp files.I know not all processors are equal and one that a pentium that runs at 1.8 GHz is not nesseceraly better than an AMD that runs at 1.6, Does anyone know what generous of processor in pentium or AMD would be the equivalent to a 2.8GHz Celeron?Cheers :>Sorry, I know the others are better and faster, but i was hopeing someone would know if there was a pentium processor that has a similar speed to the Celeron 2.6, for instance, would every pentium or amd chip at 1.4 GHz be faster than the celeron?Thanks

I have a Toshiba laptop with a Celeron 2.0GHz and it runs great. I added another 512MB of RAM for a total of 1GB – you didn’t say how much you have.Maybe something in your operating system (Windows?) is corrupted. It happens all the time when you install and un-install programs.Have you tried defragmenting your hard drive? If you don’t have much RAM it will be utilizing the hard drive swap file a lot.Have you tried re-installing your OS? Just try backing up all of your important data and then reformatting and re-installing your operating system or “restoring” from the restore disks.Your computer has fast enough hardware to run many applications at the same time, it is probably just frag’ed or the OS is messed up.Good Luck

Either of those chips would be better than the celeron. Celerons don’t have onboard cache which is why they are junk. They rely on the memory that is on the motherboard to ‘process’ which is a lot slower that utilizing cache (memory that is on the processor itself) so it doesn’t need to run the information across the motherboard to process. I hope I explained this well enough for you.

Any pentium processor is better than a celeron.
