I agree, on that budget I'd much rather buy a socket 754 board and a Sempron 64 chip, or for a little more money, a 939 board and an Athlon 64 3000+. Both of those options are faster than the Celeron, and more scalable (easily upgradeable).
Oh, and AMD chips of that generation are better at multitasking. The new Intel chips are (finally!) giving AMD a run for their money, but for that processor generation, AMD CPUs are faster at everything save only encoding (video & audio).
