would be grateful for advice as to whether a pc with an intel pentium 3 processor or an intel celleron, which is the best from these two?


grateful for any advise
 
Well their both old tech now, Why do you ask?
 
They are both passed their sell-by-date but if they were free, I would go for the PIII ... a Celeron has less on-board cache, therefore is a very slow processor.

Would make a good hardware firewall ... ;)
 
It would be helpful to know which Celeron. The P3 will be old and slow regardless, but a Celeron could be 300MHz or 2.8GHz. Big difference.
 
Either one is fine if it is a desktop system. Put a new hard drive in it, upgrade to at least 512 MB of memory, and it will run faster than most new laptop computers.
