That's the socket size of your CPU (Central Processing Unit, AKA the Processor). It's determines what kind of CPU your motherboard can use. If it's "dead" you wouldn't have created this thread.

Not to get off topic, but that CPU-Z program is pretty nifty. Big Grin

Basically, the socket used for old-ish (in today's terms) Intel CPUs.
Sorry about topic change but is there somekind of software for overclocking Intel Celeron?
I cant do it from BIOS because the options that should be there are not there
So if u have tested some software please share
It's not for overclocking, just reporting stats. Wink

Just be careful for overclocking and not knowing what your doing could really cost you. Not to mention your doing it with a low end processor you'll probably break it faster Toungue.
What do you mean low end?
When i bought this pc two years ago i specifically told the man i wanted it to be fast
Why he lied was his fault
Celeron is Intel's low end processors. There is Celeron, Pentium, then the new core processors.

And just telling a guy you want a fast computer at a retail store doesn't mean anything 99% of the time you get a person doesn't really know jack about computers.
I'm sure it was quick 2 year ago, but they've since come out with dual core and quad core CPUs. Wink

Celeron (Intel) and Semperon (AMD) are considered "budget level" CPUs. These days Celerons make decent CPUs for word processing and internet, but trying to do anything real resource consuming is painful at best. Even Pentium 4s and Core Duos are pretty much garbage for any real processing by today's standards. C2D and X2 are bare minimum these days for any real power house PCs.

Then again, you can see the specs of my laptop above and see that you can still get buy with low end CPUs depending on your PC use. Wink

Why you accepted his lie is your fault Wink
