I have to agree. I had a duron 700mhz a few years back. Nothing to brag about, but what a work horse that computer was. It's still in use today as a matter of fact, gave it to a friend.

BUT, as long as he's not looking to do serious multimedia, video encoding or intense games...the celeron will be fine.

Honestly, the only thing i see that brings up a red flag as far as performance goes, is the hard drive you're using. You can get a huge, fast drive for under $100 ( i buy 80gb WD's with 8mb cache for $54!) and it will perform noticeably better.

1999 Silver Frost SVT #609 of 2760 Quaife, lightened SVT Flywheel, SPEC stage II clutch, removed resonator, k&n drop in - various other goodies too.
