This might be a little bit old, though, I'd just like some of you guys' opinions.
Read it's Review (http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/celeron-d.html) by X-Bit Labs, thoroughly, then, if you wish, post your input and opinion, in detail.
Let's "spice up" Hardwareworld with this topic.
Prices (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.asp?submit=property&DEPA=0) for the Celeron D CPU's available at NewEgg.

Hmm, i only looked at the first 2 benchies, can't ve arsed to read them all, but it seems to be pretty good...
I also see they changed the naming system! Nice move there.

Now thats what I call overclocking potential
I wonder how the durons compare :lol:
Anyway, for example an oc'd athlon mobile 2500+ @ ~2.5 ghz is supposed to be a decent competitor, still. And it's damn cheap.

Edit: Can't help but think it's a marketing nightmare tho. Celron D or not . People who have never owned a computer, will still think buget chip, dummed down cache. :(
