Excuse my ignorance but what is the difference between a 3.0Ghz Pentium Celeron and a 3.0Ghz Pentium 4?

Hi there

Basically, Celerons are Intels budget cpus.
A Pentium 4 3GHz & a celeron 3GHz will both run at the same clock speed (ie 3GHz) but the Pentium 4 will have a higher performance. This is largely due to P4's having more cache memory than celerons & they are able to run at higher bus speeds than celerons.
