Just saying...

I recommend to all customers, clients, friends etc that they _never_
buy *any* Celeron, Duron, Pentium Dual-Core or any other cut-down
crippled CPU.

They are all false economies. You'd be far better off with a
previous-generation used chip from a full-spec range.

All cut-down CPUs are crippled rubbish. There is a reason that Apple
never use them in anything, not even junk like the Atom.
