If I were you, I would get a P4, or a AMD, the Celerons are basicly a hunk of junk for simming  :-X :-/  I would get somthing like a AMD XP 2500+   BUT any processor wont fit in any motherboard, so make sure that you check to make sure your motherboard supports the said proceossor! :)
I am somwhere I don't know where I am!!!

You should never put AMD Vs Intel as your title it invites flame.

Anyway out of those two processors the AMD is better
The Saitek is not force feedback, but the best ???
For me no, i like force feedback too much...

[glb]Please guys, don't just say names like "just get a AMD64" cos I don't understand them! Please explain yourselves a little.

AMD 64 is the latest technology it uses 64-bit technonlogy rather than 32-bit. This means it is a lot faster.
