Hello guys,
I'm going to start using a Celeron 600MHz (66MHz FSB) CPU in a Toshiba laptop that takes desktop Socket 370 CPUs. The system will have 256MB of ram and a 32GB SD card inside an IDE adapter for the Windows 98se OS.
I am downgrading the 1GHz PIII CPU originally found in the laptop so I can avoid overheating issues. (Design flaw with this model)
The system will be used for retro games, DVD playback, and file transfers with PCMCIA to CF card adapters.
I'm kind of worried about the performance. I have to wait until this Friday to install it because the laptop is at my buddy's place. I used to have a Celeron 800MHz desktop with 100MHz FSB running Windows XP and it was sluggish when reading USB thumb drives... as if the faster FSB update was not enough to fix the CPU. I know I had between 256 to 512MB of ram in that particular system.
Do any of you remember using the 600MHz Celeron model, or are currently using such a system?
Thanks for any answers.
