Hi,
I am looking to buy a notebook computer. Which is better? a Celeron 2.0Ghz or a Athlon 2200+ processor. I know the P4 may be better, but these are my choices for now.

What programs will you be using on it?

I'd have thought an Athlon would be better, but that's purely based on the fact that the word 'Celeron' sounds a bit like 'celery', and that's bad.

Celerons and Athlons are completely different architecture. A celeron is a cut down pentium and a duron is a cut down athlon. ur better off comparing athlons and pentiums or durons and celerons

Athlon for sure

Athlon > Celeron

Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities, the political, the religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing, forming in our minds their view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable, open-mindedness; chaotic, confused, vulnerability to inform yourself. - Timothy Leary
