Yeah, I can see how that would help a P2 system out... but that celeron, ugh. In Counterstrike, I can round a corner, and if there is a dude standing there, my machine locks for about .5 seconds to render him, and by this point, there is gunfire. Now the celeron thinks "oh damn, now I need to show him he's being fired at" and chops down to about 3 fps until I am dead. At this point the game speeds back up to 25fps.

Sad to say, but my 300a@450 has just reached the end of the line so far as gaming is concerned. It'll make a great webserver though! :)

I wouldn't refer to a duron 600-700 as a great little cpu. Once U overclock it to say 950 and higher it actually beats off the P3 at 1000! It is actually a lot of power for the average user and with an overclocked Radeon LE can become quite a powerhouse.
