A Celeron-D has 256kb cache. The 805 has 1mb cache. The only thing about the 805 that even resembles a Celeron-D is the 533 FSB. I've got an 805 system out there at an engineering firm, and it's the fastest CAD machine in the house - and they even have a 3.2 GHz Northwood box. Don't diss the 805.

You didn't say anything in your first post about gaming - you implied you were looking for a cheap way to upgrade a general purpose computer and were going to put a Celeron in it. The 805 will absolutely blow away a Celeron-D (and a Celeron-D is not a BAD processor at ALL). If you want to spend the money for a 930, of course it will perform better than an 805.
