Well it all depends on what other hardware you already have because the are different sockets
And I would probably go for the 3800+

I concur.
Celerons are, frankly, lousy chips, even running at over 3ghz; crap architecture, slow fsb. And they run hot.

It's not all about the mhz speed of a cpu, it's about how efficiently (power, time) they process. And how quickly they share with the rest of the components in the pc (fsb).
Celerons have a lot of pipeline stages, 16 I think, Athlons have more like 12 (working from memory here). Intel's older architecture (P4's, Celeron's) were lousy chips hence Intel trying the brute force way of just making them faster and faster. This creates a lot more waste heat, and causes the cpu to run hotter. Nope, if it'll fit, go for the Athlon but do check it is compatible with the motherboard in the pc.
