AMDs are particularly good for floating point operations, even their 3Dnow
instruction set is supposed to give faster graphics. The compiler has to
support this. Not sure if gcc does that. Get an athlon if you can. But
whatever you do, get loads of RAM ( say 3 x 128 ), you will possibly
need it, depending on the application you want to run.

p.s. duron will beat celeron any day
