I'm building a system that will be used for Web Browsing, Skype, Music, Pictures (not gaming or encoding) and was wondering if a Celeron would be fine running Vista Home Premium with 2GB RAM? I have had bad experiences with Celerons, mainly because they are cheap CPU's that get put into cheap computers but I noticed that there are some newer ones such as the "Intel Celeron Dual Core E1200 Socket 775". Are these based on the Core 2 Duo's by any chance? The cheapest Core 2 Duo's are about £15 more than the Celeron so it would save a decent amount if they are good enough for Vista HP.
 
What about the "Intel Pentium Dual Core"? I've noticed a lot of these appearing at the moment, how do they compare to the Core 2 Duo's?
