Ah... I see....The first Presario Celerys with an AGP slot I've run across.
I see why, too. The 815E chipset. Should be able to stick in a 133MHz PIII.

Most do not, however. Which 5003s? The 5003CA and the 5003R both come

with
Durons (and AGP slots) and the 5003US with a PIII 933 and no AGP slot.

Apples v. Oranges on the processors. And for what lots of folks use

their
PCs for (surfing the net), the Celeron would not be half as fast as

the
AMD
chip. I have a home-built AMD Athlon XP 2200+ box and it certainly

isn't
twice as fast as my 2.4GHz Celeron machine in "real world" use. If

you
are
a
heavy gamer, now that's a different story. The Athlon would

certainly
be
far
superior. Plus the Athlon boxes usually have an AGP slot where a

fast
video
card can be installed. The Celerons are limited to onboard Intel

video.

I bought a Compaq Presario S4020WM at Walmart last summer for

$495,
complete
with a 17" monitor. It has an AMD XP 2400+ processor at 2.0GHz. I

had
to
put
in more RAM to make it work right, but it's a good machine.

They're currently selling the Compaq Presario S6020WM at Walmart

for
$495
with a monitor, but these have a Celeron 2.6GHz processor. I must

advise
against purchase of this one. I have tested that processor, and it

is
only
half as fast as my AMD processor running at 2.0 GHz.

Don't be deceived by "GHz", which no longer tells the relative

speed
of
processors. That's a game Intel is playing with their current

batch
of
Celerons. They realize there's a sucker born every minute.
