OT- Dell Dimension, Celeron vs Pentium 4

I currently use a 600MHz (P2 perhaps?!) with 1GB RAM, 18GB x 2 7200 RPM SCSI
drives, and four 32MB PCI graphic cards (each single display) .  The OS is
NT4 and I have never seen more than 300MB RAM utilized for what I do.  The
OS is corrupted but still working (phew!) and I am thinking of replacing
with a Dell Dimension 3000 that has Celeron D 320 (2.4 GHz, 533 FSB), 512 MB
Dual Channel 400 MHz DDR SDRAM, 80 GB Ultra ATA/100 7200 RPM HardDrive and
three Matrox G450 PCI (each dual display) cards.  The OS will be NT4 and
will run run about 10 TS2Ki charts (with about five indicators in each
chart), in real time connected to eSignal (collecting 300 stock and indeces
data).  Also will run a couple of eSignal advanced charts, T&S for one stock
at a time, a quote window of about 30 symbols and a news window.  Will the
Celeron be a drawback for all this or will it be at least similar to my
existing setup?  Thanks in advance for any advice/feedback.
