Even though they will both be slow, the Celeron 1.1 is the better choice in this case. It's clock speed advantage will give it the upper hand here, by a little. However, later on down the road when you decide to upgrade, just keep in mind the Celeron is a lot slower than other equally clocked CPUs. ie: A Celeron at 2Ghz is much, much slower than an Athlon or P4 at 2Ghz. Mason, that Celeron article is from 1998 (!). Thats far too outdated. The Celeron has changed a heck of a lot since then, and is far more crippled than it was back then too.
