My experience with Celeron processors is that any running service that requires
math will suffer in performance as the Celeron processor has the math
co-processor disabled.

database use, queries, graphics, java, email lists, or even the built-in
performance monitors and log file keeping are all math intensive operations and
will suffer on a Celeron box.

I would think that the use of Celeron equipped boxes for a production server
would be a real waste of money.  This especially due to the low cost of Xeon and
P4 dual channel processors and their associated L-2 cache availability

There are no Celeron equipped boxes anywhere in any of our hosting plans, for
example.

  Subject: celeron processors as an upgrade?

  I was wondering if anyone has been using later series Celeron processors
  in servers (2GHz+) and what the experience has been like with
  Coldfusion.  Celeron gets slammed on multimedia performance and gaming
  and that's about all I find in the search engines...

  I *see* hosting companies selling dedicated boxes based on 2.4 and 2.8
  Celerons...

  I just really have no useful comparisons on performance in our terms of
  web applications.

  We already have a 2.6Ghz and 2.8Ghz boxes sitting here, but I am
  resisting upgrading from our Dual 333 and Dual 700 Mhz boxes...

  Anyone care to share their experiences and noticeable benefit from just
  that increase in bus and clock speed?
