Re: celeron vs pentium
Some people here are saying the celeron is fine. I would disagree. I've noticed celerons causing massive slowdowns and lag in things like opening IE windows and performing basic tasks within the OS. Celeron's are missing cache which is one of the most important parts of the processor.
I have seen many people buy celerons in the past only to blame their lack of performance on other things. In my opinion the biggest mistake you can make is to buy a celeron. This is especially true if you want to run PT. Database apps require a lot of memory access and Cache speeds that up.
Intel is also discontinuing the celeron at the end of this year.
It may work out. The newer celerons can't be as bad as they once were but I would not have high expectations.
