    Way better than Celeron, not that that's difficult. The Turion X2 is the dualcore version. Core Solo is Intel's competitor but the Intel chip isn't 64-bit capable.

    Anyhow, for what you're doing it'll do fine. I have a 1.8GHz Turion 64 in my notebook. Ideally you'd buy a dualcore CPU, just because, but that's more expensive of course.

    Yeah.. Etiher go with the Core 2 Duo processor or the Turion X2 processor. The regular Turion 64 is good but is no the top technology. Even though a single core processor will probally suit your needs. I recommend that you go with a dual core though.
