Intel Celeron 2.2GHz Reviewed

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the more-bangs-for-bucks dept.

Detonator 3:16 writes "Black-Ash.net has posted a review of Intels Celeron 2.2GHz Budget CPU; interestingly they have compared it to a common older CPU (PIII-700MHz) to see whether it would be worth using this CPU as an upgrade." Celerons have usually a been a decent processor for the money, and this one looks to continue the trend. It's not the fastest chip ever, but for spending less than $100, it's a good bargain.

    Myths, apparently, never die.

    Naturally. Half the people here still believe the pinnacle of Windows' stability is Windows 98.

    "Seriously - celeron = waste of time and money"

    From the article:

    But how does the Celeron processor differ from a convectional P4 processor?

    A pretty accurate slip of the tongue there =).
