I'd go with the Athlon 2500+ Barton core, that's what I have now, and it's quite a nice CPU, Celeron would be alright if you aren't planning on any gaming, but I still prefer the AMD
the fsb on the celeron is 400mhz and the amd its 333mhz wouldnt that make a difference
haha no. And you will make your 333Mhz core a 400Mhz core soon enough :P GO WITH THE AMD. Dont get Celeron. It has a small L2 Cache (pronounced cash) which makes it slower.
Get the AMD 2500+. It's more powerful.
@bigdawg, It's not right to assume that everyone will overclock their systems.
yeah i know..thats why i stuck the tounge out..it was kind of a joke...but he should newayz
That's only your opinion.Quote:

May I remind you that he didn't ask if he should overclock. Why don't you let him decide that on his own?
He is just trying to compare 2 products.
And not everyone has the money to buy all the cooling you have ;)Quote:

if i dont overclock is the amd 2500 still better and how much could the celeron (2.6ghz) be overclocked w/o any extra fans jus da 1 dat comes wit the cpu
:ghostface:
If you dont overclock, the AMD will still be better. Definently get the AMD. If you plan on overclocking...The AMD is freaking awesome for that.
