    The Pentium4 is faster. It has bigger cache (512k vs. 128k on the Celeron) and a faster bus speed (533mhz vs. 400mhz on the Celeron). When faced with choice between a Pentium4 or a Celeron of a similar main speed, the better choice will ALWAYS be the Pentium4.

    You may notice a small difference with the Pentium 4. Game play will be a bit smoother, but may be barely noticeable. On the whole, the PC will just run better and smoother, with slightly less lag in regular everyday usage. The difference is small, and may not be noticeable to you, but the PC will be happier. ;)

    Well obviousy Pentium 4 as it has bigger cache and higher bus speed like dlb mentioned.

    But tbh both processors are now old as they are only single core and these days people are running duo core or quad core.
    So don't be expecting some major changes in overall speed of your PC if you choose the P4 instead of Celeron;)
