Pupik Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 (edited) Uh, Celeron. Remember I had one, back in 1996-8 (Y) edit: Looking at the other parts and your excitement about your new PC, I can only wonder: How much you paid for it?

+InsaneNutter MVC Posted April 30, 2009 MVC Share Posted April 30, 2009 You OS is Vista Home Basic though, I don?t believe that can do Aero. The graphics chipset is capable though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdood Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Yes, watch out! Home Basic does not have Aero! And yes, the GMA 3100 will run Aero just fine despite the fact that it does 3D about as well as a roll of used toilet paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quillz Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I didn't know the Celeron was still around. For $650, I'm almost sure you could have gotten a decent Core 2 Duo rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted April 30, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted April 30, 2009 Companies just shouldn't provide PC's with a Celeron or Sempron processor anymore. It's an insult to modern technology. :p Where I work the cheapest Desktop we sell comes with a Pentium Dual-Core, and it is around $550. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinkinJoze Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 (edited) i bought it from Dell online store but.. from Dell Mexico. In Mexico everything is more expensive edit, i just visited Dell USA store and theres a huge difference in prices, too bad that they dont ship to Mexico, there's nothing else that i can do thank you guys.

Unknown_97784568745 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 The Celeron 450 was only released like 8 months ago. It's based on the Core Solo. The Core Solo, like all other Core CPUs, was not based on the Core architecture. (Yeah I know, sounds weird) :p The Core 2 Solo which you probably mean is also not correct as it is an Ultra Low Voltage (ULV) CPU based on the Mobile Core 2 CPU, the Merom (Merom-L to be precise). The Celeron 450 is based on the Conroe (Conroe-L to be precise), which is a desktop Core 2 CPU. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
