Which CPU is better: AMD Athlon 800 MHz or Intel Celeron 1 GHz?

To answer your question the AMD is a little faster it has a little bigger cache. But for what those processors can be used for then they will both do the job. They both use SDRAM 100 or 133 so old games only will run on them but you will be able to surf the net and do email just fine with either.

The AMD Athlon should out perform it at that era of CPU's. You can probably overclock the Athlon to 1Ghz as well if you wanted the clockspeed.

neither one is good , you can pick up a much faster card for a very low price check out the AMD Athalon 64x dual core 5000+ can be found on new egg for less than 100 dollars

I go with 2shots info. Athlon's were faster! You might want to check out these two pages,(use at your own risk! Don't want you to blame Ol' Chickster if somethin' happens! LOL!)
