Some Celerons are (were?) at least dual CPU capable, 
although I'm not an authority on Intel specs.  Of course, 
if you have the traffic to warrant a 4x (or more) box, then 
you probably have the money to purchase the 4x box.

We have a dual Celeron 500A box that we put together a 
while back, 512mb ram and a couple of fast disks, and it 
works like a champ.

If you're looking to save money on a server, getting a 
Celeron instead of a Pentium can be a good idea.  It's 
certainly a better idea than cutting back on RAM or buying 
slow disks.

Just my $.02.
