Celeron is powerful enough for normal use. But these days, it's hard to rate
a processor "good" or "bad", it's all depending on what you want to do. eg.
if your primary goal is playing games, Celeron is not for you (at least, not
for hardcore gamer). Power user usually goes high-end PIII, or AMD
Thunderbird. I don't recommend P4 at the moment, unless all your software
take advantage of P4 SSE2 instruction set (nobody knows how long you have to
wait for that), and you are willing to pay the highly overpriced RDRAM.
Without software support, P4 is slower P3!

Subject: [PCBUILD] Celeron Processor


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?
