I'm a little nervous when they call it 2600,is that a 2.6GB processor or is
it different in a subtle way than a Celeron 2.7GB processor(other than the
..1GB)?
Which would you go with?
The advantage to the AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2600+ is that it doesn't have
integrated graphics so I can get an AGP graphics card where as the Celeron
has integrated graphics and would then have to get a PCI card.
Thanks for any help.

Clearly you are confused ....Motherboards have integrated graphics not
CPU's.

What? The AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2600+ dose not have integrated graphics so it
has an open AGP slot but the Celeron dose have integrated graphics so the
AGP slot is not avalable .My question was is there a big differance between
the AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2600+ and the Celeron 2.7GB .I thought that was clear,
mabey it wasnt.

"The AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2600+ dose not have integrated graphics so it
has an open AGP slot but the Celeron dose have integrated graphics so
the
AGP slot is not available"

The above statement is nonsense ..... I thought I made that perfectly
clear.

If you want a good system go with the Athlon (and the notherboard has
integrated graphics, not the CPU), if you want a slow system get the
Celeron (no forget it, get the Athlon, and forget you ever heard the
name Celeron...trust me).

Thanks ,I did go with the Athlon system(that was the confusing bit, I was
referring to systems I was looking at not just the processor. I guess I was
just assuming you all would just know that.And you know what they say about
assuming ;-) ).

Great...you'll like it a lot. The 2600+ is a very capable processor,
and will run circles around ANY Celeron you thro at it (even those 2.6
and 2.8 MHZ Celerons...I would venture to say EVEN the up and coming
3.0Ghz Celerons.)
