>As far as Celerons go, they can be a mixed bag. The P4 core Celeron (starting at >1.7GHz) is abysmally slow in just about everything. In games and such a Celeron >2.4GHz is somewhere on the order of the speed of a Duron 600MHz to 1GHz >depending on the game tested. This seems strange to me: I've compared a 2.4 GHz (P4 core) and a 1.4 GHz Celeron (P3 core). The gain is little, but still the 2.4 is faster. And the 1.4 Celeron is identical to regular Pentium III@1.4, clearly faster than any Duron in the 600MHz to 1GHz. The Celeron of the P4 generation is not much faster at 2.4, compared to a 1.4 GHz, since the bus is slow as in the P3 generation, and not 4x as the P4@2.8 and the like. What I've see is that in 3D games the "2.5" Barton and even a 1.7 GHz Duron did outperform a 2.4 Celeron. But in regular applications the Celeron was between the two and sometimes on top. ciao Franz
