Hey, I've got one of those... : )

I'm running a Celeron 1.7. As a front end only, the CPU utilization
isn't high with this cpu anyway. Unless you have other tasks in mind I'd
go with the cheaper processor... The machine is very quiet and the fan
only kicks into high mode briefly when it boots. Myth Frontend tasks
won't be enough to kick the fan up.
