Nice! :D What's your processor and how much ram?

Dell sends me coupons and deals almost every day that they want me to post on my website, but I rarely post them because they have such short expirations. Some good deals tho!

Let me help you here, A Pentium 4 CELERON is the same as a Pentium 4 except it has less l2 cache. My Celeron has 256K of L2 Cache, the typical Pentium 4 has 512 or 1024, some of the Xeons have up to 2048.

The performance impact in many applications is negligable, but can approach 30% vs same clock speed. But Price/Performance can't be beat except by AMD cpus.

you right, but my experiences in games is better in PENTIUM, of course AMD is the best, Price/Performance. I have a AMD athlon.
