Good Performance @ Good Price
- Pros: Snappy performance, runs Win XP really well, can transcode video to Divx slightly faster than real-time
- Cons: I feel fifty bucks is still too much to pay this processor...thirty-five to forty dollars is my preference, does hang on some applications but generally runs smooth
- Other Thoughts: I wrote review several months ago on a Celeron 420 (1.6GHz) and said basically the processor was the pits. I still stand by that statement for the Celeron 420 only. The Celeron 440 is nothing like the 420. This guy has snappy performance and doesn't cause the CPU fan to rev up to high speeds making lots of noise. Much of the reason why I am happy with it is because it is mated to an Intel DG45ID motherboard that has intergrated graphics hardware acceleration built-in. Thus, it did not require me to have a powerful processor.
Overall, I am very pleased with the purchase. It was better for me to have started with a powerful processor, e8500, and then fall back to the Celeron 440. I now know what I am missing and not missing.
System Specs:
Windows XP Professional SP3
Intel Celeron 440
Intel DG45ID
Crucial DDR2-800 (8GB) - I went back to XP Professional from Vista Ultimate x64 - what do I do with the extra 5GB?
LG Blu-ray/HD DVD
Do it.
- Pros: Dropped this in a NAS I built for personal use. Cheap and works fine.
- Cons: None so far.
- Other Thoughts: Great low-end proc for certain applied uses.
Update!
- Pros: Well it has been about 6 months of use and I still find this processor to be a workhorse. I have nothing to say but good things. This is my first intel processor since the good old slot series. I have been a huge AMD fan and still am. But I love this 440. I have done a huge amount of HD tests and this processor has passed them all. PERFECT HTPC cpu.
- Cons: I did however have the stock heat sink pop off of the board. The plastic clips are horrible. I did have a Pentium D dual core heat sink sitting around new. The Pentium D has metal brackets for the pins. Plus the Pentium D heat sink has a smart fan and copper core and its taller. This mounted much better than the Celeron HS.
- Other Thoughts: With the new heatsink the fan stays at 700 rpm no matter how much load I put on it. The processor sits at 18 c all the time. Perfect!
Dswanson's comments are correct. CPU makers have reached a limit on speed and ability to create new hardware. So they will double up useless cores to make it seem faster. Nothing is multi threaded and if it is it doesnt use the cores effectively. The only thing that does is cpu testing software. But real world they arent faster. You buy them and want to think they are faster. You do not need a multi core cpu to multitask.

Introduction
Intel proves that 64-bit processing doesn’t have to be expensive. Their Conroe-L based Celeron 440 has Intel 64 architecture which allows it to address more memory when using 64 bit operating systems. The LGA 775 socket means it can take advantage of some of the most current technologies on the market.
The Advanced Digital Media Boost improves media performance for audio, video, image processing, multimedia and more. 128-bit SSE instructions are now handled at 1 per clock cycle, effectively doubling the speed of execution over the previous generation of processors.
Highlights
 |
Intel Celeron Processor
The Intel Celeron processor delivers a balanced level of proven technology and exceptional value for desktop PCs. Based on a new energy-efficient microarchitecture, this Celeron processor enables smaller, quieter, and more capable desktop PCs.

Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (Intel EM64T)
Enhances next-generation IA-32 platforms with 64-bit addressability and related instructions, allowing flexibility for both 64-bit and 32-bit applications and operating systems.

 |
Execute Disable Bit (EDB)
Intel's Execute Disable Bit function can prevent certain classes of malicious "buffer overflow" attacks when combined with a supporting operating system. Execute Disable Bit allows the processor to classify areas of the memory where application code can execute and where it cannot. When a malicious worm attempts to insert code into the buffer, the processor disables code execution, preventing damage or worm propagation.
