i dont have the time/energy/motivation to piece together a nicer comp for cheap. I was about to throw my old hunk of shit throught the window. It wasnt even letting me get on the internet anymore. That was the last straw. I wanted something today and I wanted something cheap. Its 80 degrees out, and its 4/20 so I made a run up to Circuit City and did what I had to do. If it only lasts me till September before I get something nice, I’d happily pay $350 to have something half decent until then. ---

> [@Darkstar](#): > > werd. To be honest all i really use it for is to listen to MP3’s and browse the interweb. Which is why I don’t understand why people would bash the Celeron. Shit any computer you buy today is capable of listening to mp3s and browsing the internet and checking email. Buying a faster computer with a better processor is not going to have a noticeable effect on the speed of doing any of those things. When my laptop died last year I had to buy the cheapest replacement possible, it’s a Celeron and works perfectly for what I use it for, even for some of the engineering applications that I use. ---

> [@weaves](#): > > Buying a faster computer with a better processor is not going to have a noticeable effect on the speed of doing any of those things. bullshit. There is a very noticable difference between a celeron and a standard P4 even just navigating through the Windows interface. Now to someone who’s been on a 450mhz since who knows when, that difference will not be as noticable. In fact, I’m sure he’ll be in heaven compared to the old machine. But to anyone who uses a regular P4, then goes to use a celery of the same or greater speed, WILL NOTICE a signifigant difference. It’s a value chip for a reason.
