I assume that an Athlon XP 1600+ will outperform a 1.6 GHz celeron, but what about faster celerons? Can anyone give me a link that compares Athlon XP/P4 CPU's to the celeron?

the 2 ghz celeron at 3 ghz barely matches up with a 1.6 ghz p4.... so draw your conclusions from there.

With PC2700 RAM and an overclockable KT333 or KT400 motherboard, many 1600+'s reach the 166MHz bus for an effective 2100+ performance level, too. If you have an Intel board already, no question but get the Pentium4 1.6A instead of a Celeron.
