Stupid question: do they make a Celeron for Socket 478 boards?

Thinking of making a cheap system to give to someone out of that free P4B socket 478 mobo Asus sent me (see other post).
Don't want to spend much money, and I'm really not familiar with the newer Intel products.
Thanks.

They do but from what i've read the cel's are really crippled. Can't remember where i seen it but a 2.0 Gig Cel got thrashed on by a 1 Gig Athlon...

Don't really care about performance. This will be a system for a non-gamer who wouldn't ever notice the difference between 500Mhz and 2Ghz.
Thx guys.
