BIOS =D old school FTW!!!

take note of what jinaun mentioned.

E2xxx are based on Conroe, the E6xxx processors. Hyper-threading stopped at the P4 series, now introduced in the Core i7 series.

goldfries...it isnt introduced...its reintroduced..but i dunno why dey stop HT @ C2D and C2Q i heard it was uncompatible?

yes. re-introduced. or re-implemented. whichever.

i believe C2D/Q has HT logic in them.. but Intel does not enable them for reasons best known to them.

iirc... according to Intel HT takes only about 5% of the die size

lets ask Ryaz Patel to tell us why Intel didnt enable dem...actually if C2D/Q had HT, i7 wouldnt sell off like hot cakes..HT is i7's main selling feature...but still E5200 is Pentium Architecture..why dun haf HT lerh..reason simple = Intel kiam siap

it was named Pentium but the architecture is of the Core series.

=X my bad..forgotten its a Wolfdale...sry sry...

yeah, even the earlier gen PDC were Conroe. some how Intel decided to have it named Pentium for the low end.

There's the Celeron E1xxx based on Allendale, same as the E4xxx series.

mind to ellaborate on Allendale? heard of it but nvr seen any procs use it..btw Celeron, isnt it b4 Pentium 4? its has dual core also? wow i really haf to brush up my knowledge abt old tech

Celeron has been around for ages.

The most popular Celeron was the 300A. 300mhz OCed to 450mhz. 50% OC. I only have the 333 and 400.

Those days Celeron were a hit, people bought Celeron instead of Pentium III because (based on my really really old information entry) they had on-die cache while Pentium III's cache was off-die. so the Celeron when OCed to equivalent P3 speed, can do faster.

Even P4 days had Celeron. Pentium was the top of the consumer line, Celeron for the lower range.

Nowadays it's Core / Pentium / Celeron.

ahhh. something like that. btw off-topic a bit - computer shop in Taiping? if got then, next time i drop by Taiping can visit.

lol...im 14..pls dun misinterprate..i build(assemble) ur comp for u nia..nt sell comp stuff...oh u mean i.e. Pentium = i7, Celeron = i5? wow Intel dominates man..ya i agree we are straying..hmmmm im still wondering who sells the cheapest E5200 in LYN coz im building a 2nd rig for my cousin

hi , posting some mild overclocking results of the new e5200 r0 revision on stock vcore and here's the result. Using mobo Gigabyte GA-G31M-E2SL and DDR 800 with 2.66 divider.

vDrop I guess.

-pWs-

dude mind explaining whats vdrop ?

Interesting to see the E5200 is revision R0.
I wonder how low the voltage can go while the cpu remain stable, and how high the cpu can OC while running at the default voltage.

yeap, the most famous Celeron was the 300A (back in year 1998), which was launched when Intel's top model was Pentium II 450 with 512kb half speed L2 cache. The Celeron 300A was set to run on a 66MHz bus with a 4.5x multiplier and a 128kb native L2 cache. Abit BH6 was the most popular motherboard to pair with the 300A, since it allowed the 100MHz bus on the 300A, giving performance on par with the PII 450. My best bang for the buck since it's a 50% OC.

BTW can i know your all core0 core1 load temperature? I found out my proccessor temp and core0 core1 have a big different.

So this model is more better form Core 2 duo??

Nope,it is the basic vanila strip down version of wolfdale core
But cheap@RM240 or so,with 4ghz clockspeed on right combo is nothing to complain lor

For what i think if your E6300 can reach 3.0Ghz dont change.The increase performance isnt that big from E6300 -> E5200 since the cache is same.But only the temperature is lower and more energy efficiency.
