Advantages: Cheap, works well, does 64 bit proccesing.
Disadvantages: No frills, slow performance

...The celeron D is a pretty hard call. The rating it deserves depends on what you want it for. It does its job as a budget processor very well but if you are looking for a good performer this is no way the one for you. Lets look at the specs. procesor number- 326 archutecture- 90nm cache- 256kb L2 clock speed- 2.53ghz front side bus- 533mghz intel emt 64 bit- yes excecute disable bit- yes These arn't very large even if you just comapre them to a pentium 4. For its price however they are understandable. Performance- is reansonable with basic applications word ect and runs very well. Video encoding is slow in comparison to more expensive procesors. It does run the latest games but as you move up to high resolutions and turn up to high quality framerates plummet and games start to go slightly joggoly at time... Read review

Advantages: Fast clock speed / Good amount of lvl2 cache
Disadvantages: Could balance out workload onto both cores a bit more

...This processor is a fairly mid-high spec for core 2 duo range it delivers some great performance for a good price. This cpu can handle a lot of multi-tasking along with playing powerful games. Usually i can run a defragmentation and notice it hardly at all i can play games and play music with no problem it just makes desktop computing so easy. As you may know this is an Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 / 2.66ghz cpu, It has 2 cores on the one chip. it runs with 64-bit architecture which then opens up a whole new world of 64-bit operating systems for tommorows technolodgy...this along with the fact it has 4mb lvl2 cache makes superfast repsonse rates to programs and files i have also noticed that their are not so many "cache misses" to which i expected so this pleases me the most :D The only downside is that i have noticed that core utilization...

Advantages: Pretty fast, PIII core
Disadvantages: Not cheap in budget terms

...The bosses at Intel have finally decided that they cant waste any processors any more. Its takes too much money and time in the industry to manufacture too many chips because they dont have many fabrication plants to do the job. Basically they had to find a way to make lots of different chips very quickly. Well here's the clever part. The Celeron II (not official name) is simply a PIII, well I say simply a PIII but that's what they are. Only difference is they are faulty PIII's. Not faulty as in they don't work, but faulty as in half of the 256k cache doesn't work. All Intel have done to these chips is disable the bad half of the cache and there you have a shiny new Celeron II. Not bad eh? Needless to say that then the Celeron II has a good leg to stand on as a budget chip. The core performance of the PIII is there in the background... Read review

Advantages: Cheap,reliable
Disadvantages: not for graphics, or design application

...If you want to to build a low-cost but reliable system, the Intel Celeron 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.... Read review

Advantages: Fully loaded for light user
Disadvantages: Heavy by weight

...A lower price laptop from top brand. It uses a celeron processor that is useful for a light user means for a user mainly use it for net surfing office work and playing and recording music movies. Looks are excellent but its bit heavy but no problem if you are looking for an affordable machine. The speed is moderate because it got a fast 2.93ghz processor with a lower bus speed any way its celeron. Ram is quite high but memory speed is moderate 266mhz that makes it an average laptop. No doubt keyboard feels comfortable and well designed. Apart from that machine is loaded with good features like firewire ports, usb 2.0 good for fast data tranfers using usb devices. Laptop is internet ready with eathernet and modem so you can straight way connect to broadband or dial up. In conclusion i can say if you are looking for a machine that will do... Read review

Advantages: Greatest value and performance at the lowest price, highly overclockable
Disadvantages: Only 1MB L2 shared cache, performance hit in games

...▀ ▀ ▀ The low end processor market. ▀ ▀ ▀ The low end processors market is not as greatly disputed such as mainstream and high end processor market and also if you noticed few reviews are written about them, few publicity is made and also the performance is lower but this doest mean that low end processor market it isn't important. A great battle is done here especially at prices and in the latest years also for performance and this is great for consumers. In the past both Intel and AMD tried to dominate this market and so Intel was the first who launched a low cost processor called Celeron, architecturally different compared to a Pentium to ensure a small cost to produce but also with a significant lower performance (quite low performance especially at first models without L2 cache...

Advantages: Fairly fast processor, DVD-ROM drive, Good appearance
Disadvantages: Windows XP Home and 256 MB RAM are bound to cause problems and they do!

...This computer would be great as a computer for the kids or as a cheap family computer because it is affordable but still with plenty of features such as two drives - CD-RW and DVD-ROM which means you can easily copy a CD without having to put the media onto your computer. The Celeron processor is OK but Windows XP Home is installed and only 256MB RAM is installed so the computer crashes a lot - even on startup. The easiest and best solution is to install more RAM - add another 256MB RAM and the computer works very well. If you upgrade the RAM TO 1Gb, it would really move along. We upgraded to 512MB RAM and the computer now works very well doing average tasks such as internet browsing, emails and average games. The 80GB hard drive is excellent - it has two partitions: the normal C drive and another drive called the D drive which... Read review

Advantages: Very Fast, reliable, and from intel
Disadvantages: cant find any

...Without any question the Intel P3 is the best chip for games, office programs and graphics programs. I have just upgraded to the Intel P3-600 chip and think its great runs everything I want it to without any problem. I have bought the above chip, voodoo 3, and an Asus PC3-D motherboard and 256mb memory and its slowly becoming a dream machine. Would recommend this combination to anyone who wants to run high end games or anything which demand’s a lot of horsepower. If your into games like F1, quake then this setup is brilliant for you....

Advantages: Very Overclockable
Disadvantages: Small cahce

...A 9.0x multiplier is about as far as you can go with a Celeron to acheive the much respected 100Mhz FSB and therefore acheive 900Mhz in the case of the Celeron 2 600e. DO NOT BUY A CELERON 2 633, 667 OR 700 IF YOU WANT TO OVERCLOCK THEM 100MHZ FSB. Their multipliers are too high unless you are going to liquid cool them!!! It has to be said that the 0.18 micron die etch has been a god send for overclocking but when the multiplier starts to get silly, atainable overclocking on a locked bus is crazy, hence my suggested max of a Celeron 600e if you're thinking of clocking your new Celeron....
