I guess if you can overclock the hell out of that celeron D to say a 4ghz then you can turn it into some sort of cheap solid gaming machine. I seen some pretty good numbers in gaming benchmarks when someone I read online took a 3ghz Celeron D and overclcoked it to 3.8, but of coruse you will need a good heat sink and fan setup not to mention some case fans
Summary: The T9300 is a better processor. "How do they compare?" The AMD processor would have to be clocked at around 3.0-3.1GHz to match the performance of that 2.5/800/6MB Core 2 Duo. The HTPC: Pentium M oc'...
