Why do you say Celerons suck? In side by side comparisons, the end user can only tell a difference between Celeron and Pentium II/III machines in FPU intensive applications. And even then, the difference is not extreme. MP3 decoding is more dependent on the decoder you use than it is in your

This isn't, strictly speaking, a linux problem, since it occurs in both win98 and linux (rh 6.1). My computer is a laptop (a Eurocom 3100c, specifically, with a mobile celeron under the hood) using a maestro sound card. It plays CDs beautifully and seems to have no problem with wav files or anyt
