Advantages: Cheap. Easily overclockable....still...so is the Duron Disadvantages: Slow bus, slow cache (1st release Durons don't have any!)
...From my experience with Celerons, they are slow, cheap and nasty. Yes, they are easily overclockable, yes they cost a few quid, yes, many motherboards supports them, but have you seen the Durons for the same price?! A Celeron system running side by side with a Duron system, running the same game and same applications, same graphics cards etc show a major difference for the price. Since the Duron runs on a higher bus than the Celeron and has faster L1 and L2 cache, for the same price, you are being conned with your Celeron. Intel seem to be losing the war, even if they are trying really hard with the new Celeron II, for the price, a Duron CPU kicks a lot more ass than the Celeron....

Advantages: Cheap,reliable Disadvantages: not for graphics, or design application
...If you want to to build a low-cost but reliable system, the IntelCeleron chip is always the chip I consider using in comparison with all the other chip like AMD or etc . The celeron is fast enough to watch DVD from the computer write application have multiboot system. Play games etc. From the other hand if you using graphics packages or design programm don't go for celeron Dot think about the money buy a PIII which is more fast in this kind of application.
But ofcourse is much more expensive. I can also recomend overclocking the celeron which is safe, Intel know about they first use to overclocking the DX2 33 to 66Mz. But however the decision is yours....

Advantages: Cheap processor Disadvantages: Slow, small cache,
...I have mixed experiences with these processors, In comparison to AMD's chips, Im afraid Celeronprocessors do not compare.
My AMD K6-2/450 which worked without fault, was sold and replaced with a Celeron 533Mhz which at the time was of similar cost. Celeronprocessors were at the time rated quite highly however in comparison to AMD's 450, Graphical benchmarks, Gameplay, High Quality Video files, processor benchmarks all showed a great deal of a decrease in performance with the celeron.
The Celeron runs on a 66mhz bus speed which greatly reduces performance in comparison to processors running at 100mhz bus.
Celeronprocessors are known for thier ability to be overclocked which can greatly improve performance however this greatly dependant on which mainboard you choose.
Increasing the Memory from 64mb to 128mb made a noticable...

Introduction:
As Intel continues to offer new technology processors at very affordable price, the older technology processor's price has fallen dramatically to a very low level. The prices for processors are at record low level. This has helped the end... more
As a gamer, I needed the best processor out there. Searching around, the only real debate in this price range was whether to go for the E6850, a dual core CPU, or the Q6600, a quad core at a lower clock. After looking at many different benchmarks and... more
