well the obvious difference between a celeron and a p4 is the cpu cache, celerons are good for home linux dev box's, i have 2 now but one only has 32meg and is really slow on the queries but they are cheap and do the job i i rebuilt one and built another box for about 180 AUD :D , i also have a dua
