I have an Athlon 1.2 ghz, and I can tell you its BLOODY fast!
Also I noted that www.overclockers.com have a story on the Athlon and running 
dual Athlon cpu's then benchmarking it with kernal compiling, aparenlty two 
Athlons are MORE than twice as fast as one when your slamming a kernal 
together..
Wierd... But I would never tell someone to go celeron after I've been playing 
with my Athlon :-)
(only cost me $500.00 for the cpu as well...)
