i think it depends on what you plan to use the computer for. the celeron is sorta a generic pentium. it basically does not have the cache resources (computer short term memory) to run as fast as a pentium 4 processor. i have a celeron machine, that i just use for email, my budget, and letters and stuff. i dont do games and stuff. i am positive someone completely computer saavy will give you better advice. i like getting porsche parts!
