Testing the processors in a configuration you would find in a retail or OEM system paints a much different picture.  Now that the processors have to rely on the integrated video and potentially sub-par memory controllers of their platforms, the performance difference between the Celeron 800 and the Duron 800 is next to nothing. 

For most do-it-yourselfers that will be building their own systems this doesn't matter, since you would most likely be pursuing a different platform for your processor if performance was your goal. 

But for those of you that will find yourself scouring the store shelves for a pre-built system, the Celeron 800 and Duron 800 will be indiscernible from one another other than in price.
