Perhaps you can get a Semprom with a smaller clock but a higher FSB. I
have an AMD Semprom 2400+ with 400 Mhz FSB, 1 GB of Ram and I'm very
happy with it. It plays all the games I want and I can work in it very
smoothly. I recently upgrade to 1 GB of Ram, used to be 512 Mb and the
difference is amazing compared to 256, specially compile speeds. So,
unless you might want to upgrade you Celeron to a P4, assuming the
motherboard will take both, I'd go with Semprom, I believe it's more
cost-effective.
