celeron question

you should have no problems playing games like halflife2 or any of the other major titles on the shelf right now. i do believe that most of the gaming power a pc has is in its gpu though and not on the proc itself, i believe this because games are becoming more and more graphics intensive.

Celerons were never designed to be gaming chips. If your mobo will support a P4, I'd go that route.

celron were never made for gamming but u can get on with it with the spec u put forward what these days gamming need is a powerful graphic card and better memory cpu speed is ok in your case

The Celeron was only ever intended for a Low End Work Station and certainly not gaming.

If you go to the Intel Channel Partners meetings you'll never hear them mention the word Celeron as to those people they are a waste of time and effort. I would go with the few extra $ and get a P4 to fit your M'Board you'll be much happier with the result.
