adams is an unknown quantity at this point
i'm building a new computer to either use when i go to my moms house on the weekends or to sell, i haven't decided which one to do yet. either way i don't want to spend much over $100 on the cpu.

so i've narrowed it down to 2 choices: celeron D 2.8Ghz or a P4 2.4Ghz with 1MB cache.

now if i keep it, i won't put it to any hard vigerous work so i think one of those new celeron D's with the 256K cache would suit me just fine. but i also think how nice it would be to have the 1MB cache too. now if i decide to sell it, i figure most people around here won't know/care what the difference between a celeron and a P4 is. I've priced around and the cheapest I can get a 2.8 D is about $110 and for the P4 2.4A 1MB cache is $125.

so what do ya'll recommend? and if you know of any cheaper prices in the US (online) please post them too. i think those prices above came from newegg.

thanks.
