A couple of MTSOs advertise that they require Pentium 3's and I was wondering if I'm wasting my time applying. My new lap top has Celeron and it sure seems fast to me (I use it for DQS with no problem). I was just wondering if it really will be a liability for job hunting--I don't want to use anyone else's computer.

Celeron equals ssssllllloooowww!!
They are so pokey, don't waste your money. Might be okay for grandma to play games on if she has trouble with keeping up, but will never work for transcription.
It's good enough to do the job. I've got a Celeron and have no problems.
If you want to see benchmark test results, Google for benchmark Centrino Pentium Celeron. Honestly, the naked human eye can't detect much of a difference. It's not like we're comparing 386SX/33 processors to Pentium 4/3.06 GHz. Nothing like a little processor snobbery to justify spending more money.

Not sure if they are equal in power, but the Celeron is inferior to the Pentium.
If you're getting a desktop may be no big deal since desktops are cheaper and you tend to replace then every 2 to 3 years, but if getting a laptop/notebook, definitely get the Pentium or the Centrino and not the Celeron.
