If u take the physical circuits of the two, they are exactly the same except that in celeron, some parts are not functional. How this happens is during manufacture, each chip is tested for performance (and yes u heard it right, its each chip, not one chip in a sample stock) and the chips that fail the Pentium benchmark , but still functional to a considerable level are rebranded as Celeron. Well some might feel that its sort of a cheating. But the thing is tht there is nothing wrong with the chips if they r run at the specs they are supposed to run. I was also told that celeron chips are more prone to malfunction during overclocking, although this is highly possible, I havent personally checked this. Anyone having more info?</blockquote>
