From a last post, the AMD 1900+ cpu isn't good for much of amything I guess...but what about the Celeron D 2.66...?

Well the old architecture of the Intel Celerons are crap, ive been building and working on computers since 2001 and ive seen and built my share of Celerons, but the new Celeron D architecture is quite suprising. They're pretty good.

That being said, because of the Pentium D and Core 2 Duo, Pentium 4's are dirt cheap now, and usually are interchangeable on motherboards with Celeron Ds.

It is like a bad day fishing, there is no such thing as a bad day computing.
I love any technology that is a bit quicker than the thing I have now.
"Now" is a Dell Dimension 4100 PIII 933Mhz, with 512 Mb RAM, running http://pclinuxos.com
Benchmarks show it to run upto 50X faster in most processes than it ran in Windows.
Wanna race? You run clunky ol' virus prone memory leaker Microsoft and I'll run my Linux that is immune to the "114,000 Microsoft Virus Definitions".
Oh, BTW, I can open upto 200 windows, on each of my 20 'desktops' in concurrent multi-tasking, and nothing stops to wait for anything else to process.
Try that in any Microsoft product.
Also, I can Knoppix cluster all the computers on my network.
Again, Microsoft can't cluster. Maybe you should see what else Microsoft can't do, that an old system running Linux, can do!

I'm sorry to say, but Celerons are crap. You want to go for a Pentium D, Pentium 4, or AMD Athlon.

First things first.
you want your computer for games?
is not an option
for video edition and cg rendering?
install a lot of RAM, a good video card and let it working (render) in the night.
for an IDE (like VS2005)?
it can deal with it
for programs like Y-messenger, listen music, web browsing, programs like office?
go for it, u will be happy with it, i rocks in this tasks, and u dont need the extra power.
celeron its just a low performance processor not intended to power users or gamers
