    Can you not assemble your own? Dell cheap stuff is years behind-1.6 CELERON??? A new e2180 is £53 delivered £30 more than the celly, an e4500 about £20 more again. Have you your own xp already?

    This isn't years behind - it's the latest entry level Intel processor and much better than previous Celerons. However I would still spend a little more on the other options you mention.

    Hi Grahawk , I didn't know that celerons were based on conroe-65nm -cores. I've just got an e2180 and it leaves my pent.3.2ghz standing! As you say it's only £15 more for a twin core 1.6ghz-e2140 which must be a marked improvement over entry level, and not much more for even more performance.
