1.Learn how to be polite.Acting all big makes you look stupid. 2.I posted the reasons why I didn't like the critisism.We've also apologised at our website.Not that you'd even bother to check. 3.Sorry,I didn't notice I was writing in html.That must be really stupid right? 4.Next time,try to log in before posting something.But,I guess you like the name "Anonymous Coward",don't you?
Since I'm not in the mood to get in a fight with you guys,I'll be short and to the point:
1.I don't want to be the next Anandtech.They are large,they have money they get samples.I do with what I have.
2.I'm not getting any money for this by the way,since I'm in the Mediterranean,and I'm writing for a site in the UK.I'm helping out a friend,I have a day-job.
3.Whoever said that you have to get SDRam for the Celeron?If you even bothered to read the whole review,I'm pointing readers to DDR ram prices and a DDR based motherboard!
4.Do read TOM's review as well.Unfortunately for me,I don't have 300 spare hours to spend on benchmarking nor the hardware for that many tests.And since you are aiming for a budget system,you'll probably end up with a GeforceMX,so don't call the Ti200 an old card,since its right on the spot as a value card!
There you have it.I won't even bother with replying back,so feel free to bash away.
Thank you.

Hello,I'm the reviewer.I would like to point out some things about the specific review:
1.If some of you consider me biased,I would like to point out that I am an AMD hardcore fan.Even if I am one though,my reviews are objective,even to the last sentence.
2.Here in Cyprus,AMD systems are very hard to find.Intel dominates the
market with an 80% at least percentage.Even if I tried to find one for
review,I wouldn't be able to get it for testing only.I would have to buy
it,as I have bought the Celeron.
3.Since people generally don't realise that more MHz is not necessarily
faster,subsequently the AMD market in Cyprus at least, is very limited.
4.Concerning the critisism about not mentioning an AMD processor:I know that for the same money,even less maybe,you can get a better AMD system.But,I cannot mention in reviews hardware that I don't
have.I cannot make assumptions - even if I do know that they are true - that
an AMD processor costs less at the given level,while outperforming all
competition,without a chip to allow me to run tests.I cannot tell to someone
in my own review,that even if I'm giving you these results, reviews I have
read show the specific AMD processor to be faster.I just can't do that.
5.Finally,I would like to point out that I am not comparing the Celeron
processor to anything,besides an older system of mine.I am reviewing the
Celeron on its own,as a budget processor.Does it perform all right for me as
an upgrade?Yes it does.Is it cheap?Yes it is.Is it worth it?Yes.Does it cost
much?No.So for me,its a good purchase.There are other alternatives out
there,but I don't have access to them.It's not a review about the best
budget processor.Its a review of a budget processor,which in my opinion
offers good performance for its price.AMD systems may offer more,but that
doesn't take anything away from the specific processor.
To one specific responder: The Asus P4B266 is only an option.Not all P4 motherboards offer EZ Plug,so if someone doesn't want to get an Asus board,he'll need a new power supply.
