Thread: Celeron processor too slow

I am using Intel Celeron 1.7Ghz Processor and the performance is too slow and I am not able to work more faster is there any reason relating to the processor?

The Celeron processor are slower as compared to the Pentium 4 when you will check the differences between both the processor while running same application on both the processor as the Celeron has L2 cache 128 KB while Pentium 4 has almost 256 KB and 512 KB on Pentium 4 Northwood as even their FSB are clock speed are slow as Celeron has (400 MHz) while Pentium 4 has up to 1066 MHz bus speed which deliver graet performance.
The other reason is that you may not be having enough RAM which also create more difference in performance while running more application you at least need to 512 MB of RAM to run Windows XP very well as recommended by MICROSOFT is about 64 MB to run windows XP.
Check for any Spyware or any application running in the background and you can disable it from the task manager which also slower the performance of the computer.
