  PII-400 has 512K L2 cache running at 200 MHz.
  Celeron-400 has 128K L2 cache running at 400 MHz.
    Experience to date seems to suggest that smaller-faster cache is
    often better.

  PII-400 is 4.0x100.
  Celeron-400 is 6.0x66.
    Memory accesses not handled by cache will be faster on PII.

  PII is SMP-enabled.
  Celeron is SMP-capable, with surgery (not recommended for business)
    Not relevant with the board you've selected, but helps explain the
    price difference.
