Celeron 400 - SEPP vs. PPGA

Final Verdict

Final Verdict:
3.5 Stars

The 400, though fast, is less of a black and white case than the 300A, or even the 366. It's currently the fastest Celeron processor on the market, and it's almost half the cost of an equivalent Pentium II. However, given the success rate of 300A chips overclocking to 450Mhz, available at half of the cost of the Celeron 400, it doesn't seem like such a great deal. However, if speed, budget, and peace of mind are all of prime concern, then the 400 certainly does fill that niche, especially with the cost savings that accompanies the Socket-370 platform.

FutureMark, well known for their popular 3DMark benchmarks, is venturing into new territory with Shattered Horizon. This multiplayer shooter is perhaps best known for its system requirements -- the game supports DX10 only -- but there's more underneath the surface of this game than fancy visuals.

EVGA P55 FTW Review
EVGA P55 FTW Review
Looking for a good P55 motherboard to OC your CPU beyond 4GHz? If so, you may want to check out EVGA's P55 FTW. With its extra ATX12V connector, this motherboard can send up to 600W of juice to the CPU, and it's got more voltage settings in BIOS than 95% of the general public needs. But that's just barely scratching the surface of what this board can do. Check out today's review for the full details!

 Quick Facts
Intel is planning on eventually phasing out the Slot-1 design for Celeron processors, but we don't expect that to happen until the CPU hits at least 433 or 466Mhz, after H2 1999.
