Performance of the lower end
Not sure this is the right place for this thread.
I keep hearing (reading) about how everybody is buying much more computer power than they need/use. I have no idea how the lower end computers perform. How do the celeron and sempron based pre-built systems perform in regular (non-gaming, non-video editing) tasks? what celeron/sempron speed is decent for office applications (not for my grandma but also not for encoding)?

Celeron/Semprons are excellent for basic tasks...
Not sure of any specific CPUs, just whatever is within budget.

most low end systems will be able to do everyday tasks very well
interenet office stuff like that getting something with any sempron or celeron should be fine |

For a perspective on how today's low end systems perform: I still use a PIII 600MHz with 512MB of RAM, Matrox G200 video card and WinXP Home for stuff like MS Office 2000, photo editing, burning CDs, surfing the web and it handles those things fine. This computer would have been brand new in late 1998 or early 1999. For everyday stuff it works fine. I'm not a gamer so I don't need a up to date powerhouse.
Today's low end system with a 2.0GHz processor (Celeron or Sempron) would have no problem hanlding everyday tasks.  Cricket
