Probly a dumb question but is it worth saving £15ish by getting a Celeron D 352 3.2GHz 65nm chip as apposed to a P4 630 3.0GHz 90nm.

If the celeron is anything like my internet rigs (+1G @ stock voltages) it'll overclock like a ***** which may help but i'm unsure of the P4 clocking ability.

Brother and missus who have no need for anything special, just browse and office apps, want a faster machine (Currently P4 1.6GHz) for as little as possible.

Any suggestions in this kind of price range (30-50) welcome as i aint looked at budget chips for a while especially AMD's which have passed me by in the last 4-5Yrs.
 
Thank for the replys guys.

Just to clarify its for a new build (as the current rig is a S478 with old SD ram) thats looking @ coming in around £150ish (ex Case & PSU). Must admit i'm not really sure why they want to upgrade but its there money not mine ;)
