The Celeron Chips are crap. They are just cheap Intel Rubbish chips. I could not believe when I saw the intel benchmark tests of these chips compared to their other ones. They are shocking. Well you get what you pay for. And Celeron Chips compared to other intel chips and the AMD ones are rubbish. The only other chip I would never buy are the Cyrix ones, they are on par as being a bigger joke as the Celeron chips. So yes they do affect the performance of chess software, and you only have to look at comparative benchmark tests to see how they would perform against other chips. I know they are cheap, but you get what you pay for, cheap crappy performance and a nice price.
