    the celeron cpu is a lower version of a true p2, p3 or p4. true p4 has 512k to 1meg cache on cpu whereas a celeron version has 128k to 256k cache on the cpu & costs about a third to half of a true p4 cpu

    478 is the number of pins on the cpu till you get a 775 pin cpu by intel & doesn't matter if a true p4 or celeron
