The Bad: the're slow.
The Ugly: No sooner get one and you want to upgrade.

Thank You, but the records I found say something different.

Don't know off-hand of any links :{

Depending on which era of Celeron, they have been downright poor to great.

The early ones had absolutely no cache memory whatsoever which made them
about 60% as effective as a 'full' Pentium (II at the time) for the same
clock speed for any CPU intensive application like hardcore games.

Intel added cache memory later and the Celeron became a bigger
contender. The infamous "300A Celeron" was a cheap alternative to a 400
PII as the 'A' would often overclock to 500 mhz, at about half the price.

Celerons usually have about half the cache of a 'full' Pentium III or IV

Nowadays a Celeron is a fair contender for most computing tasks. It's
not going to be as fast at video transcoding or them same hardcore
games, but for almost every home use otherwise, most people wouldn't see
the difference.
