I agree, there's insufficient reason to use Celeron chips, especially in a server (I wouldn't even get one for a workstation).

I consider them to be less than desirable for all uses, I'd find somewhere else to cut that 100.

  The Celeron 2.6 does not have Hyperthreading...for about $100 more you
  can get the a regular 2.4 w/hyperthreading, well worth it for the apps
  you are going to be running.
  Like others have said though, you are going to be memory bound long
  before you are CPU bound.
