Celerons are also useful for laptops, they are cheaper and smaller. i would advise the use only for a machine that will do Very mild tasks ie collect email, write stuff in word. you dont want one even if you only play music, trust me on this one.
->Powered by AMD (crap it crashed again)

I agree with the statements above.
Pentium for my home and nothing else.

My computer is a Celeron P2-333 with 320 megs of ram and a Vodoo 3 3000 16 megs video card, my sound card is a crappy sound blaster 16 card, and I can play LOTS of games with it, even games for which I don't meet the requirement.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Age of Mythology, Icewind Dale II... And I don't play them with everything down either, I always use the best resolution, and I always have Norton Antivirus, Zone Alarm, Msn messenger, Icq and more running at the same time, too. So Celeron are not that bad, if I was on a small budget I wouldn't mind buying another one again.
