I want to purchase a Celleron computer but I was wondering if the processor is compatible with my DVD movies and 3D Games. Can someone let me know at cortiz@pcs-sj.com.

Thank YOu

it runs all my 3dfx games smooth as silk(celeron 366 at 450mhz) and my friend has a celeron that runs dvd just beautifull.

Lower performance, but it works 100%!

Lower performance then what? In almost all cases a Celeron is within 5% of a similar clockspeed PIII, and a 366@550 usually beats a PIII 550 (Likewise the 300@450 usually beats the PII/III 450).

Who said about overclocking?
It may seems to beat a PII or PIII but it misses something: The cache!

cache??
the celerons arn't missing the cache, they just have less of it, at least the newer ones any way. AND on a celeron, the cache runs at full bus speed, where a pII runs at 1/2 bus speed, so... if you set your bus speed at say 100 mhz, thats what your cache runs at, on a newer celeron. so i think that the through put of the cache on an o'clocked celeron would actually be the same or a little more than that of a pll. I will agree that somthing is missing though......about 200-300 dollars on the price tag.

celeron was intels answer to cheap,you get what you pay for I guess you think pinto is a car lol

So, buy a Celeron one!
Set it to 100Mhz, overclock it, cool it properly, add more RAM (sooner or later you'll see it's needed) and save $200-300!
