Intel Celeron Chips Bad for AutoCAD???
jBeach
AutoCAD. We are strictly running AutoCAD r14 and 2000.
I don't see why a smaller L2 cache could cause AutoCAD problems, but I
don't want to take the chance.
Thanks,

We have 2 A2k stations using Celeron 400's with 64mb ram. They both behave
themselves. They have acceptable speed for basic drawing.

notebook. I have seen reliable benchmark tests with 3D Studio and other
rendering software where the Celerons gained an +/- 5% advantage over
equally-clocked Pentium III processors. I guess this depends on the size
of the models, where sometimes the smaller, but full-speed cache of the
Celerons have advantages.

cow-workers are "Celerons" themselves.... *grin*
There is no reason that they shouldn't work, if a little slower.

Sheessh.......great work mate you are Dave. I hope your cow-workers (mooo)
don't read the cad newsgroups.
BTW.....I've been wondering what the / part of your sig. means. Do you part
your hair on the right or have a sloping flat head? (no offence intended)

"Cow-workers"? (grin)
David - do you have any experience or info regarding the Athlon
processor?
David Hansen
No first or even second hand tests yet - and you can find good and bad
reviews all over the net.
But I'm running a 700 MHz P-III, with 256M RAM, if anyone wants to do some
benchmarking.

Most of my cow-workers don't even know what they are - and would only be
interested in the ones that start with alt.binaries.pictures.erotica......

This is not quite what you asked, but take a look here

This motherboard plus Athlon 800 *smoked* the opposition in a recent test
locally.

Thanks, Cam. The reson I'm interested is I just purchased a new Athlon
based system. Kinda after the fact I realize but all one persons I
researched the issue with assured me it was a wise choice. Of course
the fact that that one person is the person that sold me the machine
gives pause. (g)
Should be here sometime next week so I might take David up on the
benchmark comparisons.
