Well, each to his own. :o) I have an XP1700 at my feet which has been running 
24x7 for over a year now, including all those 40+ degree days we had last 
summer. It's given me no problems.

PLE have XP2200s at $119 and Celeron 2.4Ghz at $115 at the moment. Considering 
that the XP easily beats the Celeron in every one of those Anandtech 
benchmarks, that 4 bucks well spent IMHO!
