The Intel Core 2 Duo is the latest and best processor available at the moment. If you want to upgrade, then I will recommend that you get a Core 2 Duo. Still, the Pentium 4 is also lots better than Celeron.

Any Pentium 4 will always be faster than a celeron processor. Don't let the Ghz speed fool you, that doesn't tell you everything.
The celeron processor is like the Pentium 4, but it is stripped down and doesn't have the high speed cache like L2, L3, etc. Eventhough the clock rate speed is similar, has nothing to do with the actual speed of the processor.
You can buy a decent Pentium 4 for a good price. It's not the newest thing, but the difference between the Pentium II and 4 with be night and day. You will love it.

you would be extra constructive off getting an entire new gadget particularly of upgrading. The Processer on my own is numerous hundered plus you will desire to have new ram and a sparkling motherboard to go with it (no longer nicely suited with what you acquire now) when I upgraded in basic terms those I spent over $4 hundred (and that i've got been given an AMD chip) with the Intel you're finding at $six hundred variety basic. in basic terms get a sparkling gadget.

I'd suggest you'd be better saving your cash to buy a new Core 2 Duo machine with Vista pre-installed in 2007 than investing any more money into any current machine.
This is assuming your motherboard could handle the P4 which is not a given.

The one you are using is still a powerful machine. Even a PII or PIII will suffice for most modern day office applications. It really depends on your requirements. For example if you want to play the latest eye-candy games or you like to do video editing and stuff, you probably need to invest in a much powerful CPU.

no not really you can get better speeds out of a Celeron anyway by overclocking it then you can out of a P4... so if i where you I'd stick with the Celeron and just overclock it and when you can afford a dual core or something smiler get that :)
