Would I be laughed at if I bought a Celeron processor for my
new notebook? They seem reasonably priced, but
I never got (or bothered to find out) exactly what a Celeron was.
Is it a Pentium with one hand tied behind it's back, or one with a
labotomy?

Seems like for very little money I can get a mP-III or mP-IV?
or Athalon 4.

Whut gives?
