Advantages: Cheaer than other processor of the same speed and can be over clocked to a slightly faster speed
Disadvantages: Cheap (depending on whether you find cheap an advantage or disadvantage), cnat cope with what its counter parts can!

...can really say about an intel celeron, except do not buy one. Thy are cheap garbage - i mean ok if you cant afford great hardware for your pc then thi maybe an option, or if you only use your pc for word processing, etc, aside from that its not very good for anything. My intel celeron 333MHz with MMX has caused me nothing but trouble. One fact of them is that many dont run at the speed they are stated. In tests they have the ability to but mine ...
...clocked if you have the know how but i am seriously agaisnt it. When comparing mine to my friends Pentium 2 350 (i think it was 350 maybe 300) his was able to run a great deal more programs without his even crashing once. My processor is now under such strain from my programs it crashes every time more than four are running (aside from the compulsory ones in the task manager screen). I would seriously advise against a perchase of a celeron - for ... Read review

Advantages: Fairly cheap
Disadvantages: Low cache, Tends to start running poorly after a while

The Celeron 2.8GHz is a fairly cheap processor, but cheap things come with disadvantages. It tends to run nice and cool at about 30C-35C most the time but during long (or sometimes short) gaming sessions things start to slow down and causes a huge hit in FPS, which can be seen going from 60fps to 10fps or less due to the cache being so small and the simple fact that the processor is a Celeron (cut down version of a Pentium) I would advise people ...
...your using this for gaming, unless your only doing things such as 2d work, emailing, web browsing then this processor is more than adequate for that kind of work. Be warned: if you are using a socket LGA 755 youll have a nightmare trying to install the heatsink for this thing, once you get two clips on its next to impossible to get the third or fourth clamped down. ...

Advantages: Great OCing potential, Very cheap, Easy to install
Disadvantages: Higher models available at similar price

I have been using this processor since building my computer last year, the reason im still using it is because it is a superb processor, these days this processor is sold on auction sights and can be purchased either with the cooler at about a £100 or easily purchased OEM style as just the processor itself. However i managed to purchase mine for a mere 20 pounds off ebay and ive never looked back since. Since then ive ran games such as crysis on ...
...has it failed me even under the stress of crysis. Many consider its clock speed as very poor for a dual core but in my eyes this is a gem for overclocking. I managed with ease to clock this processor from a respectable 1.6ghz all the way up to 3ghz each core. Ive been using it as this speed for about a year now and it hasnt failed me yet. This processor is so overlooked and i think its beauty comes in its price and its potential for overclocking. ... Read review

Advantages: Fastest AMD Processor, easy to overclock, Cheap, Quad Core
Disadvantages: Not the best processor on the market, Runs hot

Being a AMD fan i felt that Intel was wiping the market with there dual cores and quad cores. AMD was giving me no reason to stick by them. Until they release there new gfx card: HD 4870 (more on that in that review). Wanting to stick by them i saw this claiming to add 'True Quad core technology' i bought this. Probably the fastest processor AMD have. The Black edition lets you unlock the potential of the 'AMD overdrive'. Extremly user friendly any ...
...average processor only intels quad cores are faster but hey i bought mine for £129 which is good value compared too the intel processors. It does the jobs i need it to do such as run games and multitask at the same time!! It runs a tiny abit hot on intense activity a bigger fan will keep it down. But hey we're all not perfect :) ...

Advantages: Fast
Disadvantages: None

Computers now are more demanding and need more speed/power to keep up with performance games and software. Dual core work as two CPU cores which increases performance, it is the equivalent of getting two processors in one. In a dual core processor each core handles data simultaneously to increase efficiency. This processor would be for users who are after 'power' in thier computer. I own this product and it runs like a dream, it has never crashed ...
...all the recent high demanding games such as crysis as long as you have a good graphics card to go with it. Its main use is to multitask which means having more than one program loaded up. I recomend this product to any user who is after high demanding processing. Product details Socket - Socket AM2 Clock speed - 3,2GHz Bus speed -1000MHz 64-bit - Yes Price is around £130 ...
