yeah.. waiting a couple of months can save a wad. Maybe get the system you have up and running with a cheap cpu.. see how it works for you.. then upgrade later. You'll appreciate the increase in power more and find a better deal. |
I think I'll do that. Thanks for the idea. |

I use the internet all day long, I process pictures, I have minimum of 20 windows open at one time and I use a celeron processor.
Computer runs fine.
P4's will obviously perform a lot lot better, but I don't believe they are wrth that much more.
The average price in the UK of an entry level Celeron is £40, and mainline P4's are £100, with hi end P4's around the £150 mark.
