Intel Celeron 2.8GHz

[DR]

The Celeron is positioned such that it will fit into a huge number of boards - literally every S478 going. It's cheap by Intel standards but, and here's the big but, we feel as if there's far better value to be had from AMD's 'budget' CPUs. Either that or scrimp and save for a Northwood-based CPU. The Celeron is high on MHz but low on performance. Just ensure that you're not pulled in by the myth that MHz means everything. If you hear the words 'Intel 2.8GHz processor' in some fancy advert with a PC at an unbelievable price, just do yourself a favour and look at the smallprint carefully.

celerons are crap. they r downgraded p3's that didnt pass the p3 requirements. in other words some of the parts r missin. the piping or sumthin. so they manufactured a buggered p3.

You're joking right? Or do you work for PC World?

basically a p4 with a older revision core, slower fsb and less cache
