Sarah;
I believe the Celeron processors range from 300 mhz (66mhz bus) up to the
new 800 mhz (100 mhz bus) speed.
I assume you are getting a 700 mhz or faster cpu with a new computer.
Yes it should be plenty fast for most applications and should be fine with
WinME and a Cd-burner.
I'm running a 700mhz  Celeron myself, with 128 mb ram and  a TDK12x10x32
CD-RW
it is plenty speedy for this "power-user".
The major difference between the Celeron and the Pentium II /Pentium III
cpu's in the amount of "onboard"(L2) cache memory on the cpu itself.
As I understand it, most of us probably don't need 512k of cache. The
Celeron
has 128mb of cache, and from what I've read, it is enough for the average
user.

I am getting a new computer that has an Intel Celeron Processor. Is this a
good, fast processor? Will it be okay to run Windows ME and CD-RW drive?
