Ditch the Celeron.
Use the Pentium D (Dual Core) Which should be the Presler core 2x2 L2 Cache And Over Clock the prescott for fun. Meh you can do that to the Celeron too, why not... And welcome to the forums. |

Dual core won't cause a problem, but if it did you can disable one core in windows with the affinity setting.

Don't ask why unless you want to join them. |
The Celeron will clock higher than the other 2. However it will perform horribly still. For example a Celeron 352 @ 5.0GHz performs a little worse than a Athlon 64 3000+ 2.8GHz.

The Celeron is a 35W TDP processor, and the 915 is a 95W TDP processor, ie, make sure you have a heatsink that can adequately cool it.
