These days, I'm not sure dual Celerons make sense. Unless you overclock (which I don't recommend, for all the usual reasons), you're only saving, oh, US$200-$230 compared to a comparable Pentium II-based system. Also, because of the small 128K L2 cache and the 66MHz bus (no overclocking, remember?), dual Celerons aren't as fast as dual P2s.

*Only* US$200-$300?

Sure the cache thing sucks ass, but if you are building a workstation on the cheap then they're ideal..

I personally wouldn't mind saving US$250 :)
