These are lower speed, smaller L2 cache Pentiums. The problem is that there isn't a lot of price differential any more, so unless you are really shopping at the very bottom, there's not much point in buying these. On the other hand, processor speeds are so high anyway, if you are buying for just a desktop web/email machine, having a faster processor probably doesn't matter, so you might as well save a few dollars.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.
Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.

The smaller cache is much more a hindrance to performance than the lower clock speeds. Actually, the high end Celerons run almost as fast as the Pentium 4, the later being a somewhat brain-dead design with its ridiculously deep pipeline. It was also discovered that higher end Celerons could be run in a dual-Pentium motherboard.
Now, if you want performance and a more reasonably price, forget the Intel processors and use AMD Athlons.
