  I don't think it's worth (unless you can do it for _very_ cheap).
  It will have more MHz's but less cache. The increase in speed may be
only fractions. The amount of cache is quite crucial (just try disabling
the caches in bios and see how the computer slows down; my P-II 350MHz
runs like a 386 with caches disabled).
  The speed of the memory bus may also be very important. I think that the
P-II 233 has a mem bus of 66MHz (while in the P-II 350 it's 100MHz). I don't
know how fast it's in the celeron.
