Hello, I am considering upgrading my processor, I have a machspeed 478 mb, 
cap of up to 800 fsb.  I would like to change my celeron d 2.93  533fsb, 256 
L2 for a Pentium 4 3.0e 1m, 800fsb.     am I going to see much performance 
difference in doing this.  My son plays aoe 3 alot, i am already running a 
diamond radeon 9550 video card.

It has been impossible finding comparison charts for these two cpu's. 
Thanks for any input in advance

Tim

It'll be faster, but not much.  You most likely have a video
card bottleneck at the moment, maybe memory if you don't
have 1GB or more.

You won't see a lot of gain, if any. You are basically staying on a platform 
that is quickly becoming obsolete. You might be better served saving for 
awhile and going with a Core 2 Duo system and PCI-E graphics. The processor 
price will not be a lot more, it will run cooler and you can get a lot 
better graphics even in the mid price range of cards.
