Advantages: Good quality and good value for money- easily overclocked
Disadvantages: starts off slow and you have to overclock :D

...clockspeed. Having just released their 733 and 766 MHz Celeron processors in Japan, and with problems getting anything at 1 GHz or higher out to sell, Intel is sure in a rut. (Duron 800 - Duron 650 (Yes, that is a copy of Maxim magazine behind them) Pictures that you might have seen of the Duron processor show off its strong blue tint that has been on lacking previous Duron processors. Many readers initially believed that these processors came from the fab in Dresden, meaning they had copper interconnects like the 1+ GHz Athlons. They were wrong, however, all Durons were and are still being made only in Austin and have aluminum interconnects. Well, after having your hopes dashed on that field, lets see the stats of the CPU itself: Socket A interface 0.18-micron manufacturing process 25 million transistors on a 100mm^2 die 128K L1...

Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: slightly slower

...this is great value for money. The normal intels cost a lot more and are not worth the extra cash. These are reliable, fast and cheap. I've had no problems with crashes....I had a normal intel before and paid way too much for it. I was always frightened of celerons because originally they were the failed chips, but now have been turned into the fastest selling chip and great value for money. They are slightly slower than the real intels but for a bit more you can get a higher MHZ processor that will outperform the equivilent MHz pentium. Go out and buy one, you will not regret it and will have many error free hours playing the latest games or programs with ease.... Read review
