<i>That would Not be a worthy upgrade. Celerons have half the caxhe as the P3 equivilant. You should look more at RAM and your vid card as upgrade options. </i>. Spend a few dollars more (Oh yeah, Clint Eastwood. Remember that one?) and get a nicer cpu and mboard.

With the pennies you saved by getting the Celeron, you can afford crying towels when you see how much slower it is.

The performance gain with the onboard cache is very noticeable. Ask anyone with an Athlon XP vs Athlon XP Barton! Or just ask yourself why Celerons (Durons) are not very popular.

Bang for the buck? AMD.

Celeron or Pentium? Get the Pentium you can afford. The cost of upgrading your mboard, ram, cpu is far outwieghed by the difference in apps that run, vids that run, music that runs, as opposed to bottlenecks created by the limited capabilities of the Celeron or Duron.

If all you do is email, Celeron. Anything more? AMD or Pentium.

Just my thoughts.
