If you have the cash, get the P3.  Celerons are awesome deals, but are
not on par with P3s.

P III or Celeron for GPL.....

I have done some comparisons in GPL, and  for the same clockspeed there
seems to be no difference in framerate between a Celeron and a PIII. This is
for GPL only, and the PIIIs are more overclockable and support the
"you-beaut" instruction set which may be used by future games. But if GPL is
your main purpose in life, a celeron will do the job just as well.
