P4 vs. Celeron

[reefland]

Is there that big of a difference between a Celeron and P4 processor? A big enough difference to justify the additional cost of the P4? Both would be 2.4GHz, 512mb RAM with 80gb Drive.

Thanks,
Scott Z.

For hosting never go with the low end version of the Chip, P4 or Xeon :)

Are you looking at the P4C (with HT) or those without? Go with P4C, it's quite cheap, and has hyper threading. Celeron only has a 128kb cache and no quad pump fsb and slower base fsb (i think) while the P4C has a 512kb cache and quad pump fsb (200mhzx4). Being an AMD fanboyz recently, I'd recommend the A64 3000+ anytime though, offers much more performance. :)
