What kind of Celerons? If you are talking about the older PGA .25 Micron Celerons (that only go up to 533Mhz), you can use this board for that.

As for using a dual configuration with the new Celeron II (.18 micron and FC-PGA format), it is not possible since Intel has disabled this feature with the Celeron II. Only FC-PGA PentiumIII's are able to run in dual configuarations (and even then, some of the first FC-PGA PIII's couldn't do it....they had to bring out a new stepping for this)

If you were to overclock this board and CPU as high as you can with two of the older .25 Micron Celerons, most likely you wouldn't get the performance of one 1Ghz Athlon. I'd just hate to see you waste your money on this dually board thinking that you're gonna run dual CIIs when it's not possible. If you don't believe me or need a second opinion, ask around and you'll find that it's true. :D Good luck!
