amd can be better, sometimes not tho. i think P4's go up to higher speeds then the amd's can.
i never had very much luck with AMD's, they run hotter too, from my experience they tend to need more fans then pentiums
and celerons suck. I'd say get a p4, but i'd never get one at thoes prices. thats outragously over priced. a bunch of the stuff they adding, you'll never need and prolly will never know what it does.
i find Dell usually gives some decent prices on fast machines.
that is if you have to buy a premade one.
