A celeron currently is limited at 66 mhz (without overclocking). I have not read anywhere that the Celeron is better than a PII or PIII or even an AMD at equal clock speeds. The Celeron can however produce performance results pretty close to the above named chips and in most cases is considerably cheaper. Sarah.
