basically, for email, web searching, and low end stuff, a Celeron is great, gaming and other high end stuff, you want a Pentium, the extra cache makes a difference.
Ditto. For the normal family stuff, a Celeron is probably still overkill. Just don't expect to run 3D games on it, but if that's not a concern, don't spend the money.
