There should be no technical reasons.  The original Celeron processors were
released without any on-board L2 cache, which effectively crippled the proc
thus earning it the name Celery. Over from the 300MHz (A) on up, the Celeron
has been a good value processor.  Certainly you could use 1GHz Celeron to
easily meet and greatly exceed the recommended 450 MHz Pentium II.

Subject: OT: Celeron Vs Pentium II

We use a certain accounting package that runs on its own NT server.  The
clients are four PC's located in our accounting department.  We are
upgrading the accounting package and, all of a sudden, we now are faced with
upgrading the client PC's to the new required hardware (don't ask me why we
didn't learn of this until the tech was on-site performing the upgrade - I
asked and got no good answer).

Anyway, the requirement is for a minimum 266 MHz Pentium processor with a
recommended 450 MHz Pentium II.  We're currently running 200-300 MHz Celeron
processors in these clients.  Is there any reason we can't use Celeron
processors instead of Pentium II?  Or do I need to ask those morons who
neglected to tell us we needed to upgrade in the first place?

My main idea is to save some money...and PC's using Celeron processors in
the 1GHz range are relatively cheap at the moment.
