In Aus you can buy a celeron 300A  processor for about $490 which i have read
can be
overclocked to 450 using 100mhz bus speed.  Or you can buy a PII450 processor
for $1600.  You tell me how much you would rather spend!
You can usually buy them from any store that sells PC hardware and people like
DELL and Gateway do sell Celeron PC but you void the warrenty as soon as you
overclock !!
