I have an old Celeron D 320, I presume it is, as on the processor itself Pentium D @ 2.4GHz.
Is it any good performance wise, I'm not expecting it to run everything perfectly, but does it have integrated graphics? How much is it worth? Could it run low power games? Like Minecraft, Roblox, Spore, Terraria, eg? I am not using this, but I've found it, and want to see if it is worth anything.

That's a 10 year old 32 bit CPU. You may have problems to get the drivers for a Win7 32bit installation, because the chipsets supporting the cpu are equally old.

Sorry, the Intel Celeron D 320 (also known as the "Pentium Suck" and the "Celery") does not have integrated graphics. It's worth about a few dollars to $5 (currency expressed in USD), though I'd call the latter sale-price robbery. I'm sure that the CPU is fine for Minecraft and Terraria; however, for games like Spore that CPU will not suffice.

As said, this is a 32 bit CPU. 64 bit drivers are useless.

Well, if (1) you happen to have a good friend who's a chemist or metallurgist with the spare time, appropriate equipment, and facilities at their disposal; and, (2) you happen to have 1000 Intel Celeron D 320 processors mucking about, then, you could extract the gold from the pins. Were it not for the immense time, and prudent handling and disposal of the hazardous chemicals necessary to extract the gold from the pins, you could go into the business of blackmarket gold processing -- y'know, like in television show "Breaking Bad," except instead of meth it's gold. (Yes, this is a joke. I am not endorsing or condoning any act involved in the production, proliferation, trade, distribution, or consumption of illegal substances.

Little off-topic, but for the record, no, a Core 2 Quad is not slow compared to an Athlon 5350. Even the cheaper quads like the Q6600 are pretty close to the Athlon 5350, let alone the much higher clocked models. If you were comparing those Core 2 Quads to an AMD CPU that isn't a tiny 25W model such as the Athlon 860K, then yeah, things are very different.

As for the Celeron J1900, the higher clocked Core 2 Duos aren't far behind. One well over 3GHz will be very close to that (even surpassing it with overclocking, which all Core 2 models support) despite the big difference in performance per clock just because that J1900 only runs up to 2.4GHz.

Regardless, yes, any Pentium 4 /Pentium D CPUs are pretty much junk. There were so bad that the next generation, Core, stripped almost every change made in Netburst from the older Pentium 3s.
