As you can see, the Celeron isn't much of a Business Application Performer. Weighing in at about the speed of a Pentium MMX 233 in Business Winstone 98, the Intel Celeron is a below average performer by today's standards, even in the Socket-7 market. It does hold its ground though, considering that the lack of power in this department is made up for tremendously by its virtual domination of the gaming scene.

I'm thinking since the celeron will be such a massive upgrade from my 486DX/2-66, at an attractive price, I'll go for it.I saw a nice HP Tower at frys with the 266 Celeron at a very affordable price. My question is, since it's slot-1, will I likely be able to replace it with a pentium II at a later date once prices go down? Will it be compatible?
