    For gaming you definitely want more. I mean yeah i could game, but it's the value option so you'll get value results.

    I agree with earlier responses. It'll game but it won't game well. Like anything else in life, you get what you pay for.

    I'd go with a San Diego core Athlon 64 4000+ from AMD. Quite cheap right now.

    Actually I still have the full set of specs for that which were mostly recommended by a moderator elsewhere...this PC is great and cost me just over $1800, and it's got a SoundBlaster, a DVD-RW drive, 1 GB of RAM, and a Geforce 7800GTX (top of the line, though since I bought it models have come out with silent cooling).

    So yeah...screw the Celeron D. This is the first AMD system I've had in a while and it's great.

    I like AMD Athlon processors, but I was just curious: if Intel makes cheapo Celeron processors, does AMD offer a comparable product, or does it just stick to high-end processors?

    Oh come on now be serious. I think we'd all rather have the plague then a celeron any day. Avoid the Celeron more then the plague.

    Is celeron D the same as Pentium D? Sorry, I just got my first PC 2 years ago. Last weekend, I went out and bought a Vaio RC, I like it but it came with a pentium D. I hope that's okay, because it cost a pretty penny.

    No the Pentium D is a real pentium processer. And it's dual core which is cool.

    Maybe your system handles those 'demanding' games well because you have a high-end videocard (i.e. one of the latest Radeons or GEforeces), which takes stress of your CPU.

    I think the real question is:
    Can a Celeron D handle running Yahoo messenger and windows solitaire at the same time?

    Forget the Pentiums.

    Laud the Athlons, heap praise upon them, and crown them with laurels for their all-surpassing speed and value.

    AMD > Intel.

    I would also avoid Sound Blaster cards if at all possible - my Audigy Gamer has consistently been one of the crappiest sound cards I've ever had due to driver problems. Not really sure what other choice one has, but I'm going with something else for my next PC.
    You are startled by a grim snarl. Before you, you see 1 Red dragon. Will your stalwart band choose to (F)ight or (R)un?

    Good luck finding a quality substitute. I'm rather ignorant when it comes to high-end sound, but I do know that before Creative bought them out, Aureal used to make a quality sound card (featuring the A3D API).
