Hawkstrong16 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Okay so I got a few pretty old computers and I need some help figuring a few things out. The main thing I need is processor information. Computer number one is a Intel Pentium I. I know for a fact this one is the slowest of them all. Just thought it would be fun to list. Computer number two is a Intel Pentium II. I know slow right? Computer number three is a Intel Celeron processor. I'm going to assume it will be faster then the Pentium II. Computer number four is the interesting one. It has a AMD-K6 3D processor. This one I know nothing about so I have no idea if its going to be faster or slower then the other two. Can anyone tell me which one is going to be the fastest processor? Thanks very much!

acdcfanbill Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Most likely the celeron as both K6 and P2 came out in 1997. They should give clock speed in the bios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 That would totally depend upon what model of Celeron we're talking about here. As can be seen here, there are many, many different models spanning several architecture generations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkstrong16 Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 If it helps any the Celeron comes in a Compaq Persario 5000 that originally has Windows 98se Where as the K6 and the P2 both came with just 98(granted I don't really know what difference it makes if any) But would the P2 be the same or close to the K6?

Astrotoy7 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Whilst clockspeed isnt the definitive measure of speed, for the purposes of this query specifically - it will be a sufficient indicator of whether the celeron is quicker than the AMD... As bill mentioned, you can check in the BIOS, but I dont think you would be making this query if you actually knew how to do that.... Heres an easy way >> within windows >R click "My computer" >> select "Properties" The system properties screen will come up showing what OS you have and listing the basic clockspeed of your CPU and the amount of RAM you have. otherwise, you could use pc wizard which is an easy to use freeware app that gives you some basic system stats (and works in earlier versions of windows) The earliest version of windows I used was Win 95..... seems like an eternity ago. mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkstrong16 Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 Thanks very much. Now I just need to hook up the AMD and see how fast its going, but I'm pretty sure the Celeron is faster Thank you for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I dunno why I forgot to mention this before, but you can use CPU-Z to get all kinds of info about your cpu. http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php also, if it's one of the first Celerons, a Covington, it will most likely suck. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Celeron_microprocessors#.22Covington.22_.28250_nm.29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
