In the real world the 1/2 the cache at 2x the speed makes all of JACK in performance difference from the "real" PIIs. It rocks.

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 :)
