Who here has a Celeron?

What do you think of it? I have tried them in two laptops of two manufacturers, and both seemed perfectly fine for playing music, watching movies, and browsing the web. I bought my Inspiron 1545 with the T4200 to get the 45nm processor because I could get it to use a lot less power than the 65nm Celeron and battery life is one of the most important things for me. Well, I'm thinking of getting another to get the high resolution screen and just getting the Celeron because the one sold now is 45nm. Has anyone had trouble with their Celerons not having enough processing power? I'm talking about with basic apps and not gaming or anything like that.

I'm also thinking that the celeron could save even more power since it is a single core, and I can manipulate the voltage and FSB.

I really don't see the point in getting anything more powerful than a Celeron 900 for my kind of usage, but am I missing something? A lot of people claim that a faster processor and more cache can be felt when running desktop apps, but I know that is a load of BS. (I have a 1.8Ghz C2D Celeron with 512KB cache and can't tell the difference between that at stock speed and an overclocked C2Q with 12MB cache in the same system)

 

Celeries are good enough for the sort of stuff you are doing, it looks like. The one in my work laptop seems to handle work tasks well enough.

 

I have a Celeron M540 (1.86Ghz) and i consider it quite capable for the daily usage i give the laptop (reading some mails, web browsing, listening to music and movie watching). The only time i notice it to be quite slow is on Vista x64 loading. It takes a good 2/3 min between me putting the password and having the laptop available to work.

 

Getting by. It's fine for surfing, IM, etc.

 

I also have one and it does all i need it to do,plus some light gaming.
