(remember that people are looking for advice here)
There's no sane rational reason to ever buy a Celeron.

P4-core Celerons are slow in extreme. They are also, if possible,
doing even worse in 'real life' than on benchmarks, so it's the other
way 'round.

One thing to remember here, is that older PII-core and Tualatin-core
Celerons did quite well. - You can't judge the abyssmal modern
Celerons by earlier experiences! I wouldn't be surprised if the old
1.4GHz still sweeps the floor with all them 2.6-2.7GHz Celerons.

Whenever I have really much to do, I get so busy,
there's not really any time left to get anything done...
