Intel's $5 Single Core Celeron - It Can't Be That Bad...

[@marxmaiale9981]

The best use for the 'Cheapest' processor version is to use to check that a motherboard isn't short circuiting processors. Second is to update BIOS's to then be able to use a better processor.

[@Jaindike]

lol I love that. I guess the 420 does actually have a practical application

[@rado992]

Nice! I just recently took a Celeron 440 for a spin with Windows 10 just to see how bad it could be. Also overclocked it to 4 GHz, but it was still unbearably slow 😂 I remember software compatbility with Windows XP x64 was a nightmare - it was actually based on Windows Server and many XP apps and games did not run at all :( You may have more luck next time if you use the 32 bit XP ✌️✌️

[@Mini-z1994]

You might be able too do the bsel tape mod too overclock the cpu, basically cover a pad that says the cpu runs at its 800 fsb speed & instead have it run at 1066 mhz which should give you a 2.1 ghz overclock at least.

[@Jaindike]

Sounds cool, I'll look into it

[@Cyrix_Op]

This is my retro system. Celeron 420 , 512mb ddr2, ATI x300 pcie, diamond mm sonic impact s90, Sony ide DVD-RW, Windows 98SE.

I have one of these that came in an old dell optiplex 360 that I got from my dad's work. It had been faithfully running some basic software in windows xp until about 2014 when it apparently started acting up and had been sat on a shelf. I got it in 2017 and turned out that there was some software issue tied to the specific user that caused XP to freeze, with a fresh user account the PC ran fine. I had some fun overclocking the little "beast" as far as I could (almost 3Ghz) using a program called setFSB. Now that machine is running as a server with a slightly more capable Pentium e5300 and 4GB of RAM instead of the original 1GB.

[@InternetUser-u6u]

Dude, why did you install windows xp 64 bit? The 32bit version will give you even more frames

[@Jaindike]

So I could throw in more ram + program compatibility

My first PC had this. Good times. I had completely optimized Windows XP and it was blazing fast for general use.

[@ammadigaming3640]

Jaindike can you test an i3 2nd gen with 4gb ddr3 with no gpu running on windows 10 pro? Edit: the first ever 2nd gen like 2120 or something like that

[@Jaindike]

You've essentially just predicted a future video lol. Got like 3 other vids before we get to 2nd gen though

[@matthewday7565]

There are dual core Celerons, distinguishing factor seems to be half the cache of the equivalent Pentium

[@ammadigaming3640]

Good thing intel discontinued the celeron because 2 core is way too low for today's generation since you need a 4-6 core minimum for a smooth experience in games

[@Jaindike]

For games yeah. I still daily drive a dual core for school though

[@ammadigaming3640]

@@Jaindike yes for that its reasonable

[@todorsamardzhiev144]

It was kinda alright back in the day. Okay for Windows XP. It beats Intel's Pentium 4 Extreme Edition from 3 years earlier. The thing is, in 2007-2008 software was already becoming much heavier, and ran a ton of background processes... and if you wanna do that AND run a game on a single core, you're not going to have a good time.

[@andrew_edwards]

9:09 1920x1440????????????????????

[@Kyrtapy]

it's a 4:3 1080p resolution

[@majorpayne0195]

I'm using this processor on my Windows 98 retro PC with an Asus P5PE-VM. It works well but for later OS like Windows XP, a big nahhhhhhh.

[@XaFFaX]

You should test this e-waste using Linux. Should be way more compatible.

[@Jaindike]

Thing is.. I don't know a thing about Linux. I want to work with it but don't know where to get stared

[@dsmaster7173]

ive started messing with linux dustros on old hardware recently, id say go for installing ubuntu or linux mint on a system and play around with it

You should do a video about first gen Core series just save an i5 650 system fron the junk and its suprisingly usable

[@Jaindike]

I definitely will check out first gen i5's. I had a i7 920 2 years ago and it was still surprisingly capable

I put windows 11 on this thing (SSD, 1GB RAM) and it was VERY slow. File explorer takes over a minute to open.

[@SilklandOfficial]

Love your video!

[@caprature]

Great little cpu for a windows 2000 retro rig. About the performance of a northwood P4. Or a music pc. Consumes virtually no power and very little heat.

[@duck_mangrove]

i ran the Celeron 420 without a heat sink and it was fine

[@Pravculear]

can it run stellaris though?

[@ammadigaming3640]

Jaiden a quick question, can a monitor hold back performance?

[@mr.dingleberry4882]

Monitor only displays previously rendered frames, which is done by the GPU. Those frames can be rendered at a higher or lower resolution, which affects FPS. For example, if you had a 1440p monitor and you wanted to play at its native resolution, you would get lower FPS than you would if you played on a 1080p monitor on its native resolution. However that does not mean you cannot play at 1080p on a 1440p monitor, you can, its just that the resolution wont be native to the monitor and the picture quality will probably suffer.

Just took home an eMachines SFF PC with a 450 model. At least it was free.
