One of my housemates wants to ge a new processor. At the moment he has a 2.6 non HT P4. Whats the best option for him for that socket? He wants to spend a max of about £100 which i assume would have to go towards a used one? He only uses it to browse online, word and play music so it wouldn't have to be top of the range. Would a celeron surfice?

I really dont know much about Intels so any help would be apreciated.

Thanks
 
The mobo is something that came with the packard bell pc, dont know what it is. At the moment his pc is running really slow but it hasnt been formatted ever i dont think. I have had a chat to him about getting another 512 mb RAM and a new faster (i am assuming the HD is 5400rpm) harddrive if formatting doesnt get the desired results. The main thing was whether he would see any difference with a hyperthreading chip, I would have thought there would be a slight difference, but not as much as new ram and HD?
 
Thanks for the info. I'll have a chat with him about it later, see what he wants to do. It should be cheaper as well as ram and a new hd will be less. :)
