  Good Points: *low power 42W, my whole system rates under 90W at heavy load with a killawatt meter(excluding monitor and speakers)
  *low price(median for a Celeron-L 420 is around $43)

  
  

  Bad Points: Nothing at all

  
  

  General comments: I build a lga775 pentium 3.0GHz(pentium 320 I think) that lags in comparison to this chip. For moderate video encoding, cd/dvd ripping and serious office application use, this is the chip to go with. Most people would complain about the onboard cache memory being low. Hey, it works better than a P4 3.0Ghz single core chip, so I can't complain. My system has a 80GB hdd and 1GB(512MB x2 dual channel) ddr2 667 and I've had no problems with performance. I had it running with xp pro sp2 for 31 days with no reboot. Temperature stays low, but I keep the CPU fan on all the time just to be sure. I don't believe that most people need/benefit from the dual core chips and three times the price. There is a reason most OEM's go with this chip. Compare gateway, dell, hp. I think you should be able to find a system on each site with this chip.

  The Celerons that Intel first introduced as a low-cost CPU alternative (266 & 300MHz versions) were basically just Pentium-II's without any L2 cache at all. This deficiency really punished Celeron performance when compared to competitive AMD and Cyrix chips. In response, subsequent Celeron versions (300A and up) were provided with 128KB of L2 cache. Though only one-quarter the size of the Pentium cache, it was built to run at the full speed of the respective CPU, rather than at half-speed, as in ...

  It's right, the Intel Celeron is a poor man's pentium - good for internet or the odd games, mind you, i have still got my 600mzh celeron in my drawer, i like my p3, mind you the celeron is faster than amd.

  Basically, the celeron has always been the poor mans pentium, and always will be. It has the same specs in general as the pentium, just a much smaller l2 cache. I have been a celeron fan forever, mostly because the price, I find that all intel processors are far superior to AMD processors, because they don't kill the motherboards, and arn't picky about the power supplies.

  The latest Intel celeron's are actually very good for a budget processor. Using the PIII core instead of the older celeron's PII core, the processor performs pretty much the same as the PIII. Slightly slower due to less L2 cache, 128Kb instead of 256Kb.
  This processor's greatest point however is that (motherboard and memory permitting) you can over clock them by a long way! The best i have found is the PIII cored Celeron 1GHz which will clock by 150% to 1.5GHz! No bullsh*t, it will do it if yo ...
