Puddle Jumper Mod Emeritus Messages 4,292 Jan 17, 2009 #2 A Celeron Dual core is pretty much a Pnetium Dual Core with less cache and a lower clock speed. At a Celeron Dual cores price AMD would probably be a better option. What is your budget and what do you plan on doing with the system?

And There are plenty of rebates too in there. Yes i cut and pasted 50% of this build from another one of my recommendations but it suites you to a T since your not doing anything overly demanding but still want to be ready for new games.
