The Celeron 430 from Intel is a great introduction to the world of 64-bit computing. Built with the Intel 64 architecture, it can handle all of today’s 32-bit applications and provide a bridge to tomorrow’s 64-bit world. The 800MHz FSB works with Intel's Smart Memory Access to maximize data availability to the processor by pre-fetching data from system memory.
In today's digital world, multimedia is king. Intel’s Advanced Digital Media boost improves media performance in video, audio and editing applications. Pushing executions to 1 per clock cycle, performance is improved in two ways. The number of operations is doubled since it isn’t skipping cycles anymore, and with today’s faster processors, there are more clock cycles in a given time period.

Great low power home/office server CPU!
- Pros: While I prefer AMD, this processor has earned my respect (see other thoughts).
- Cons: Heatsinks of this socket type are an absolute nightmare to install; they involve applying enormous pressure to the motherboard, warping and potentially cracking it, and hurting your fingers as you try to get the fastening pins to lock in place properly.
Also, the stock cooler is rather noisy. I replaced it with a cheap Cooler Master heatsink/fan, which was just as noisy. Finally, I bought an 80mm SilenX fan, which I discovered I could couple to the CM heatsink. Now it's quiet enough to sleep next to, and I've lived happily ever after (but gee, that was a lot of extra trouble just to get a nice, quiet CPU).
- Other Thoughts: I've been using this processor in a "semi-headless"* home/office server running Arch Linux x64 for nearly a year:
This processor
WD Caviar Green 1 TB HDD
1.5 Gigs Memory
Silverstone Nightjar PSU
2 fans
It's on almost 24/7, the CPU temperature rarely rising above 26C, steadily performing all of the following tasks at the same time:
- playing music via MPD
- running a PulseAudio server that receives audio streamed to it over the network and plays it through the speakers
- running a SSH/SFTP daemon
- running rtorrent
- running Apache
...and the list goes on and on - but the power consumption (I measured it with a kill-a-watt meter) stays between 50 and 55 watts. I'm planning on using it as a VPN server too, and considering its phenomenally steady, reliable performance under all the other tasks I've relegated to it, it probably won't be too great of a challenge.
*Has a monitor connected to it but doesn't run X-windows. Controlled via virtual/teletype console in a 1024x76
*Fast* for a Celeron
- Pros: This is a very fast CPU for being a 'Celeron'. I have read many reviews on this CPU and I have to say that I'm very impressed. At ww* dot cpubenchmark dot com / cpu_list shows it very well. It beats the 3.2ghz P4 in benchmarking. WOW, what else is there to say.
- Cons: NONE
- Other Thoughts: If I was offered a 3.0ghz P4 w/HT or this CPU for use, I would choose this one for sure. Buy it!! you will be very happy with it.

- Pros: need to have more ram in you computer if you are going to get this. about 4 are 5 gb
- Cons: will not work very good for games
Cheap
- Pros: works, cheap
- Cons: Slow as hell.
- Other Thoughts: I needed a chip to get up and running and was broke. I spent all my money on other parts. This chip worked until I could buy a good low power quad.
nice and works fine
- Pros: I built a new system for Windows Home Server (based upon sever 2003). I did not need a high end processor for what I needed it. I needed quiet, low power CPU. I got it all. I am not sure I needed a CPU fan, as the CPU is soo cool! barely gets warm. So the 4 pin PWM Rosewill fan (10 dollars) runs at 700 rpm. Quiet! I know understand gong with old technology that is cheap and reliable, as it does everything I want at a fraction of the cost.
Bootom line, being a few generations behind on technology is a good idea.
Don't get me wrong, I do have a 6GB RAM, i7-920 that is great. But it is just for video work.
- Cons: None

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 in memory where application code can execute and where it cannot. When a malicious worm attempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor disables code execution, preventing damage or worm propagation.
