..., and the FSB speed, which is a bit backwards if trying to get similar
performance, since the smaller the L2 cache is more drastically impacted
by a low FSB & Memory bus speed.

True enough, a Celeron is plenty fast enough to run a windows box GUI,
basic office apps/email/etc, but then so is an old 800MHz Celeron.  That
video editing may even "seem" ok to someone using the Celerons, until they
start looking at doing it realtime with compression, or overall job times
for filtering & compression, then the Celeron starts to look pitiful
