What an insane statement - the Celeron-D doesn't compare to an Athlon64 of the same speed rating: http://www.anandtech.com/cpu/showdoc.html?i=2038&p=1

The new Core2 Duo is another story, but it isn't in the same price category.

I agree with you Callandor. The Celeron processor is Pentium's low end processor not designed to handle a lot of mathematical processing that's used in your multimedia applications.
