quick question i'm thinking of getting a new Motherboard and CPU. I can get this set for £89.99 is it worth getting or not ? 3.0Ghz Celeron Motherboard Bundle Information: Mother board, processor and heat sink bundle 3.0 Ghz Celeron processor Socket 775 ECS 865G-M8 mother board Integrated Intel Extreme Graphics II Supports DDR 400 / 333 / 266 DDR SDRAM 1 x AGP 8x slot, 3 x PCI slots, 1 x CNR slot 6 Channel audio 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Controller for networking / broadband 1 x parallel port, 1 x serial port Form factor : micro ATX, 244mm x 220mm
Well, what do you have now? Whats your budget for a motherboard and cpu? Also, just a point. I don't like celerons very much atall, as they are very poor performing cheap chips. There might be something better that fits your budget.
I would not go with a Celeron unless you really need a computer now, I am not a fan of mine at all(but I can't live without a computer). It seems like it would make a nice second system, but I can't say if its a good price since I don't know what stuff costs in the UK. As bubsterboo said, it really depends on what you will use it for and what you have now and your budget.
I had a Celeron, it worked fine. Then I got my Athlon64. The A64 beat the **** out the Celeron, same clock speed, but way bigger cache for the same-ish price. I'm nat saying AMD is the best ever, a Core 2 Duo would be better, but rather than Celerons are weak
