S6020WM versus S4020WM (at Walmart)

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.
