Budget CPU Upgrades: Intel's Celeron 766

Expendable, another very memory bandwidth/L2 cache intensive game leaves the Celeron at 766MHz just barely faster than the Pentium III at 500MHz. 

How does the Celeron 766 measure up to the competition as an entry-level professional OpenGL workstation?  Unfortunately not too well at all.  Being severely crippled by its FSB and memory bus frequency, the Celeron is far from a good solution for users that find themselves depending on high performance in applications like Pro/Engineer, AutoCAD, Microstation, etc…

For those users, it may very well be worth the added cost to upgrade your entire system to a relatively inexpensive Duron or Athlon workstation since high performance is definitely more valuable when your job depends on it.
