celeron or p4 ed to know

[gwarbot]

is a 2.4 seleron better than a 1.7 p4

 

[LTC8K6]

Probably about a tie.

1.7 IS BETTER

 

[3chordcharlie]

it's pretty close.

are you talking about a new Celeron "D" core (i.e. Celeron 320) or an older core, before they started using model numbers?
If we're talking a newer Celeron go with it. Otherwise, i'd say look here and find out what you're going to be using it for the most and decide which scores better. (they only list the 1.8A, rather than a 1.7, but it should give you an idea of what performance you're looking at).

It depends on what core the celeron is using. If it has 256k cache, it will perform better than the 1.7ghz P4, because the 1.7ghz P4 has the williamette core with 256k cache. The Williamette core P4's were pretty lousy peformers, so the celeron will probably be faster.
