yes Dieter, I didn't notice the "AGP-belegt", that's really strange. Most
probably it is a mistake I don't know which other stuff one can put in an
AGP-Slot, as far as I know only a graphic card. I would ask the support. With
cheaper or better I meant in fact over Internet. It is most probably okay for
the price but I really would demand to test the CPU-Cooler-Noise, because this
might be a weakness. I don't really know the Celeron D but in CSS-Forum there
was a Fritzmark posted from a "new" Celeron 2.80 GHz and it was even slower than
a P4 2.4 GHz. Definitely enough for any surfing, writing, emailing and so on but
weak for chess.
