The celeron cpu core is better than the P200/mmx core. The P200 is the old P5 architecture. The Celeron is based on the pentium pro/ pentium II cpu core. Which is _much_ better. The celeron has both a L1 _and_ a L2 cache (running at core cpu speed, although the L2 is only 128kb). The old P200 has a good L1 cache (same as Celeron) the the L2 cache is external and much slower. For comparison, I used to run crafty on a P233/mmx machine and found that to be about 70% of the speed of my pentium pro 200. The celeron is a good match for the pentium-pro clock for clock. 450/500 celerons scream...
