I'd like to counter. Need For Speed 5 ("Porsche Unlimited") runs very good
on Celeron-400 with an Riva TNT2 card and 224 Mbs of RAM. I think this
machine will fullfill my gaming needs for at least another year or so.
Celerons are good budget gaming machines, though if I had the choice now
I'd go with the AMD line of Athlon or Duron.
