Helen49,
Do report back when you get your computer. We would all like to know what you end up with and what you think of it.
Binoculars,
The difference between the smallest Celeron sold (Cel 1.7) and the AthlonXP 2800+ is about $20.00 which is peanuts when you compare to the total price of a computer, but is huge when you compare performance.
As for a Cel 900, you would be ending up with a used CPU, since its production stopped years ago. There is just not enough savings over the rock bottom priced AthlonXPs.
Take Care,
Richard
