Yes. Somewhere about 1GHz, it all became a blur since above that point, DVD playback became a non-issue. Even today's games play well with a top notch video (and the usual memory and such complement.)
It's a vote with your pocket book.

I am planning to upgrade my computer and I was wandering what I should buy. Im not into playing latest games. I just want a good coputer to play dvd and divx movies, edit wave sounds and browse internet. I know Intel pentium is the best but do I need that? What is the difference between other processors. Is the AMD or Celeron good enough?
Thanks
