I bought one of these board one month ago and it performs very well. I do
not think that a dual celeron system will be faster than a dual PIII,
celerons have less cache at more speed and a slower bus frequency than
PIII, on the other end, 128Kb of L2 cache at processor speed are enough
for common applications. I think that the differences between the systems
will be more evident if you try to use your dual celeron as a server.
If you like to live on the edge, you may want to buy slower celron (400,
466) and overclock them. Celeron are fairly overclockable and if you do
not exceed with overclock are rock solid.
