celeron processor used to be known as a celery processor because they are slow, don't know if thats still true though, and hell a dual core ...if I am correct is basically like having 2 processors working together...isnt it?

Well out of the box there are at least 60+ processes running in the background on my machine. My PC is out of resources before I even run a program. It's all that preloaded crap and trial software. My IE drags like a dog so I don't use it anymore.



Not to mention none of my peripherals worked anymore.

dual core def over celeron. but IMO, i would go with an athlon fx series. I am an AMD fantic. My laptop is a athlon x2 with 160gb HDD and 4g RAM. and my desktop has a fx 57 (939) socket with 4g of ram also. triple boot with vista ult, xp home, and linix unix. love it.

if i had a choice of getting the amd processor, i would of but my laptop came with intel so i really had no choice.

when i used to build pc's back in the days, i would only use amd athlons.

Buy the Dual core. It will run multiple apps smoother and can be over clocked quite a bit with the right mobo and cooling.

And vista is actually very nice. It is a working progress.

"would the 2.93 be faster or not considering its 930 mghz faster"

Wrong. 2.0 Dual core means it runs at 4.0ghz total. Each gore is 2.0. So it will be much faster.

but the reason I asked is I heard the the second cpu only actually adds a 30% performance increase because windows doesnt use it to full efffectiveness
