Ronin Posted January 8, 2003 Posted January 8, 2003 coo. Â I know the AMD xp 1700+ is better then the 1.8ghz celeron, and Im pretty sure its better then the 1.9ghz celly but Im not postive about a 2.0ghz. Â The xp is a higher quality cpu no doubt about it. Celeron's are just the wannabe p4's. Â Id go with the AMD xp anyday. Plus didnt intel stop their celeron line? So that means if you wanted to upgrade your cpu only it would be easier with the xp. (Im not postive on this though...) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
