HOWTO: Remove Windows Messenger from Windows XP

[Maniacal]

Outlook Express? People USE it? I''ve NEVER used it, I always thought it was cruddy.

It's not neccesarily the processor thats the problem. A good deal of the time a proccesor just stalls while it waits for the Cache and RAM to properly adjust itself, especially so when you're using Virtual Memory. Unless the cache is built into a Celeron (I have no idea, one way or the other about the cache's location on any chip).

 

[Speedo]

All CPUs have cache built in... they have to have it. The speed of onboard cache makes the fastest memory and FSB or HT speeds look like molasses. I'm not overly familiar with intel's stuff, but Athlon64s have 64KB + 64KB L1 cache, and 512KB or 1MB (depending on the model) L2 cache. Some other types of CPUs have L3 cache, but it's not so common.
