And a post-note:

Dual celeron systems can be a cost-effective way to harness quite a bit
of CPU horsepower - these chips, while inexpensive, are of good quality
and design.  There are always limitations to any hardware setup. 
Understanding the strengths and limitations of a particular arrangement
can lead to more efficient use of the available resources - and to a
more effective system.

A wise choice as you had no specific information to provide.

But you did anyway ;-)

As the cost of the equipment is low, the financial risk of
experimentation is also low.  Gigantism has been generally repudiated by
evolution.  Innovation and experimentation do not have to be confined to
those with unlimited hardware budgets.
