Celeron M Good for Medium Games?

randomguy · 10-08-2007, 08:40 PM

Hi,

I'm planning on getting a celeron M-based laptop (it's an Acer, Celeron M 520 1600 MHz&1 M L2 cache, 1 GB RAM, Intel 940GML w/950GMA 3D video card).
I've never used Celeron before, the one I have right now is a P-4 desktop (2.40 GHz with Hyper Threading technology, 512 MB RAM).
I'm wondering if performance wise, is the laptop will be atleast the same as my desktop?
Is Celeron M good for games like Warcraft 3? How about for watching DVDs and internet browsing?

Thank you so much for your help

The Celeron M is a great budget processor, they actually perform significantly better then the Sempron's. It will be fine for watching DVD's, internet, and the like, however I wouldnt expect to be able to play any newer games, not because of the CPU, but because of the integrated video.
