I would have dropped the P4 in it but the processor jumps to over 200 dollars.

It kinda just kills the whole saving alot of money route.
Plus the board is upgradedable to a p4 later on. So like 2 or 3 years from now I can go back and buy a dual core P4 for the same price as the celeron.
Edit:
Plus I'm not really gonna go into any hard core gaming. I would just like to use aim, yahoo messager, my firewall, virus protection and some other program without lag.
It just is a pita when I try to use word and pictures and the damn thing lags because I'll have music playing in the background and other apps going.
Oh and next year the dorms are going to a complete network for everyone and not individual cable modems like we have now. So I want my firewall and virus scan up constantly. Right now I shut them off if the system lags.
