They aren't that bad. I've got 600 running Mandrake 10 with 256 meg of ram and it's fine.

I worked for years on a 750 and it was fast and crashless.

Try it with xfce and you will see if it still "moving like molasses"..



I you'll think to trash your laptop advise me first :P

celerons are absolutely horrible in windows, but with the right window manager in linux, they're just as good as anything else.

what's the point of a celeron though? is it intel's attempt into fooling people that they're buying a really fast cpu because it has a high clock speed?
