I'm looking at a new PC for home, but don't want to dump a fortune on it. Is a Celeron processor any good or should I bite the bullet and get the Pentium machine? There is a substantial increase in the Celeron units to the Pentium ones. I've been pricing a few on Dell.com today.
Also, what do you think a person should get (like sizes of memory and speeds etc.) for a home computer to do basic word processing, internet (high speed via a wireless router) and letting the kids play some games on there. I don't want to go overboard, but I don't want something that doesn't work either (got that already...).
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
