Here's a new Anandtech Review of the new Prescott-based Celeron. For you Intel fans this certainly is a big performance improvment (FSB goes to 533). I read the whole article but couldn't find a mention of heat output.....which of course affects computer noise. Proposed prices are ok....
I like the Celeron/478 because you can usually upgrade to the fastest P4 without a MB change. I suppose your MB must have Prescott support to run this new chip.

Ah, bout bloody time they increased the cache on these muffins.
Celery's used to be outdone by a Wilamette or Northwood 1 GHz slower (clock for clock), on ground of the cache alone (let alone FSB).
I still stand by my statement that the "slowest" P4 out there will pretty much always outperform a celery at similar price
