Sounds good.

Absolutly the most risky option. In order to let celeron run as SMP, you
have to drill in the processor's board and solder. definetly not
recommended. Also, I wouldn't overclock celeron cause it's still risky.

Only if u plan to drill and solder - and thats requires HELL of a job.

LOTS. I think you'll need 3 fans on the processors to cool it.

On the 0k and the celeron A (128k) - Don't think so.

On the new 370 pin socket with the new celerons - yes.
