It is only the newer ones. They use a different pin packaging.

If you are willing to buy a new motherboard, processor and ram, I suggest
that you go with an Athlon XP2600+ 333 instead. It is only around $100
for the retail box with heatsink. An nforce2 motherboard for it can be
bought for as little as around $75.

The new Celerons are based on the P4 packaging, Socket 478 (they are using
the Willamette 478 manufacturing setup for the "newer" Celeries ... AFAIK).

Cost a for a new Celery can be less than a hundred bones in a retail blister
pack... if your curious about going the new mb/processor route ...
