Great low power CPU
- Pros: Very low power (35W TDP), runs very cool. Conroe based.
- Cons: No Speedstep (as it is a Celeron)
- Other Thoughts: If they had put Speedstep in these CPUs, the power utilization would be even lower! But such is the life of a lowly Celeron CPU
- Pros: Low price.
- Cons: Significantly slower than a Core2 Duo. However, it is also significantly cheaper, and you get what you pay for. If price is a big issue, it's probably worth it.
No AMD
- Pros: Cheap Price
- Cons: Poor design of heatsink and fan. Had to use my older cooler master hs / fan. Couldn't get plastic clips to lock into place. The older cooler master used 4 screws to lock into place. For the money, look at an AMD 64 or dual core Athlon.
- Other Thoughts: It is a shame AMD is doing so poorly in the market. For the lower end builders, AMD is the best.

Introduction
Intel proves that 64-bit processing doesn’t have to be expensive. Their Conroe-L based Celeron 420 has Intel 64 architecture which allows it to take advantage of larger amounts of memory and 64 bit operating systems. Since it works on LGA 775 boards it can take advantage of the most current technologies on the market.
The Advanced Digital Media Boos significantly improves media performance for audio, video, image processing, multimedia and more. 128-bit SSE instructions are now handled at 1 per clock cycle, effectively doubling the speed of execution over the previous generation of processors.
Based on a new energy-efficient microarchitecture, this Celeron processor enables smaller, quieter, and more capable desktop PCs.
Highlights

Intel Celeron Processor
The Intel Celeron processor delivers a balanced level of proven technology and exceptional value for desktop PCs. Based on a new energy-efficient microarchitecture, this Celeron processor enables smaller, quieter, and more capable desktop PCs.

Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (Intel EM64T)
Enhances next-generation IA-32 platforms with 64-bit addressability and related instructions, allowing flexibility for both 64-bit and 32-bit applications and operating systems.
|
 |
Execute Disable Bit (EDB)
Intel's Execute Disable Bit function can prevent certain classes of malicious "buffer overflow" attacks when combined with a supporting operating system. Execute Disable Bit allows the processor to classify areas in memory where application code can execute and where it cannot. When a malicious worm attempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor disables code execution, preventing damage or worm propagation.
