Celerons Rock! Before the Athlons came out a year+ ago, they were the best
performance per dollar available. Intel down-played them, to try to
prevent cutting into Pentium sales. But the truth is, they're a P-II CPU
with a smaller but faster cache, and a slower memory bus. In some
benchmarks, they were even faster than their "big brother" Pentiums.

Since then, the P-III and Celeron have gone through some updates. But it's
still an Intel CPU, and you won't see any compatibility problems.

Anyone running Vantage 5.0/5.1 on a Celeron processor? I'm looking at a
Dell Optiplex 900Mhz Celeron for my sales guy that can't stay in his office
long enough to move the mouse, let alone log into Vantage. But it has to be
adequate for the 5 minutes a day he's in there. He's a perfect candidate
for Mike's timeout program. Will it work with that, too?

Most of our newer workstations are Dell OptiPlex GX series with celeron
processors. They work great for Vantage and everything else, for that
matter. Mine is a GX115 with a c700 and 128Mb of RAM and it runs everything
really well. Actually, our office systems range in speed from 300-800 and
they all run Vantage at about the same rate.

Technically, the Celeron and Pentium III are the same core, the PIII just
has more internal cache. So compatibility should never be an issue.

Hey, I just got an idea ... your sales guy would never notice the
performance difference between a new system and an old one. If you have an
older machine, use this as a chance to get yourself an upgrade. :)
