but now i can afford a faster processor/system. advise, thoughts, and ideas welcome specifically, what are the pros/cons of Athlon, Duron vs. Celeron, Pentium II, III
Athlon/Duron: CPU is inexpensive, but motherboard is expensive. Pentium/Celeron: CPU is expensive, but motherboard is inexpensive. Since the performance and price between the two different types are relatively (give or take) the same, I would focus on what features I would like to have in the motherboard since the motherboard will determine what you can or cannot do in the future. Find a great motherboard, find the CPU that goes with it. Christopher Reimer
