It depends very much on what the load on the box is. I have a dual PII/400 box at home, which doesn't get beat on too hard most of the time. I put a pair Celeron 400s in for a week, and couldn't subjectively tell the difference. My Seti@home rate on the box went down ~10%, and my buildworld times went up a couple minutes, but for the sort interactive use I do, which isn't CPU bound in the general case, there was no difference. For workstations, dual Celery are good, cheap way of buying some extra oomph. For a production server applictation, I wouldn't think about it.
