PVR machine - Celeron 2.8 or XP2500

I can get a Celeron 2.8/mobo for -$20 or an XP2500/mobo for $20. Would a Celeron 2.8 be fast enough for video encoding in a PVR, or would it be better to stick with an XP2500?
 
if you read it says: Generally, encoding is an area where Intel's processors shine, but this time, it's a different story. Only the fastest Celerons that we tested were able to keep up with the slowest AMD processors. The 2.6GHz Celeron only beats the 1.6GHz Duron by about half a frame per second. When we saw this test stacking up the way it has, we lost hope in any Celeron keeping up with even the least expensive AMD processors in any test.

a 2.6 barely beat a 1.6 duron....a 2500+ will destroy a 2.8 celeron....btw, i thought you could get both combos for 20$
 
i have a 2500 barton, stock it will crush a 2.8 celeron, i have mine running at 3200 speed....go with the 2500! 40 bucks is nothing saved when you put the celeron togther and find out it sucks!
 
The celerons performance is ok, but they are crippled by their minimal L2 cache. I would definately go with the 2500+ barton.
