I've always avoided Celeron processors for audio application. Well,
almost always - not during 1999 somewhere, when the legendary 300 MHz
Celeron could be easily overclocked and there still was a point in
overclocking a CPU to gain performance. I'm not sure exactly what is
up with the Celeron today, but you should read up on its
specifications and compare it with the Duo 2 Core that at this moment
in history is the best laptop CPU for audio. Go to Tom's Hardware,
www.laptop.com or a similar site because I noticed not all
specifications of interest are given out on that page you posted the
link to.
