rocinante2003..you're both right and wrong. Basically the Celeron has none (or little) L2 cache ability (I think). This when under heavy processor load such as editing a home video and adding transitions and neat effects like that the Celeron is very poor at doing anything overtly complex. Also, if you say have a Radeon 9800 Pro but have a Celery 2.2 ghz you will get good performance but nothing compared to even a 2000+ Athlon XP which runs at 1.66 ghz.
If you wnat a cheap system that can run games decent I would recomend a Athlon XP 1800+. Remember though with Doom III and HL2 around the corner if you want it to run great you need a great system too though.
