PB,

INTC addresses this need quite nicely with superior FP unit and SSE's

1. Celeron FP == PIII FP

2. SSE may speed up some games over Celeron but the better choice would be to buy a Celeron, and use the savings to buy a graphics card with Transform and Lighting hardware- like the upcoming Nvidia board. This will give you better performance, and leave some extra money to purchase games.

3. If you want to save money on the CPU and graphics card, buy a K6-2 system with 3DNow! which provides most of the same benefits for games as SSE.
