Default Pentium 866 MHz vs Celeron 1.3 GHz

I have a computer with a Pentium 866 MHz chip. A friend of mine says he
has a Celeron 1.3 GHz that he can "upgrade" my computer with. Can
anybody tell me if this will be an "upgrade"? I have my doubts.

I play games like "Medal of Honour Spearhead", "Battlefield 1942" and
"Rise of Nations".

Thanks
Harry

You'll have to check with the manual for the mobo to see if it can
handle that cpu.

With Slot-T or "lin-lin" FcPga-2-FcPga2 adapter probably will if it
natively doesn´t ... As it runs now 133fsb Cpu, won´t be problem even
OC-it a bit from 1,3 to at least 1,5GHz @ default Vcore ...
Maybe his friend was planning to do so or to do a Tualatin mod
there... didn´t say what MOBo exactly doh ...

Yes, I realize now that I should have said what kind of motherboard I
am using. I'll get back to you on that one.
In theory though, would a Celeron 1.3 GHz be an improvement on an
Pentium 866 MHz?

yes it will be (even more noticeable if OC-ed ...)
