Yeah, don't compare a P4 to a P4 Celeron. It's apples and oranges. Reg P4's come with 512kb onboard L2 cache. Celerons have 128kb.

Celeron is a budget processor and always has been. Only decent Celeron I've ever used was the old 1.4 ghz P3 Tualatin and it had 256kb.

As for Vista, I'll wait. I'm still quite satisfied with XP.

I built a computer for myself for Christmas and bought XP Media Center for it. It came with a coupon to get a free copy of Vista Home Premium 32 bit. I installed Vista a few weeks ago and my pc has been more stable than with XP, and with Aero windows turned off, runs faster. I had no issues upgrading and all of my software works after getting updates. Plus it probably helped that all of the hardware I bought is Vista Ready.

Athlon dual core 3800 with a gig of ram.

I was running faster with XP and 2GB ram than it is now with Vista and 4GB. Crashes more now too.

Vista: one mean beer coaster

I got a new desktop for work that came with vista business. Well, my desktop publishing software (Pagemaker) isn't compatible with Vista, so I'm SOL if I wanna open any of my old documents.

The GUI reminds me a lot of Apple OS though. If it wasn't for my pagemaker issue, I wouldn't have any problems with vista.

i've been running vista ultimate for 4-5 months now with no problems. I'm also using an AMD turion with 1gb of ram. there are to many variables with different computers on how fast they are going to run vista. Vista is really graphics dependent. it helps to have a good video card, with a good processor and, what most people overlook is your FSB speed. it helps a lot with vista.

faster than 800mhz fsb ftw. Mine is an old pentium 4 running at 1.6GHz at 400mhz fsb, and its slow as balls to me now.
