Stick with your Athlon, don't touch anything that says 'celeron' with a ten foot barge poll for gaming.

He has two threads going about this...the other says the Celeron is 533FSB. I guess I have to ask this question in both threads:
What is a "athlon xp 3100+ w/ 200 fsb"?

Stu.b, the newest celerons are basically the old p4's. They're not bad chips. However, I do doubt he's found a celeron 3.4GHz @ 80MHz bus. I just assumed they had come out and I wasn't aware of it.
Regardless, Athlon 64's still rule all for gaming. :-)
