the going against the system thing is because everyone that says "o AMD is so much better than intel" is an overclocker and only uses open source programs. they do everything against the grain like use linux when they dont even know how. But as for Celeron, I have been putting these processors in PCs for 2 years now. I bet Ive sold over 800 systems with that processor in them and never had one problem with them. Also, have 3 computers running with them right now. They're all on 24/7 and I've had them for about a year. I've had no problems. I build PCs for all my extended family members and theyve never had a processor related problem. Infact, the only problem I've ever had with any processor was when I accidentally hit the switch without the cpu fan being on... insant destruction lol... and that was an old AMD. The ONLY difference in the 2 chips is the onboard memory. THATS IT! There is NO other difference whatsoever. They are 1/3 the price because they have 1/3 the memory. I know what I'm talking about here. As you will one day realize, I never talk out of my ass. BTW I'm a computer science major... and not pokin fun at your major but you can start out in the CIS field with a general Associates Degree.

anyway... i respect your opinion but my opinion is to not waste your money on the Pentium 4. Matter of fact you can buy your PC through me. I always back my hardware with a 3 year warranty. I'll replace the chip everytime it breaks. But if you do have a problem you will be the first.
