The 2200+, but I would recomend the 2500+ Barton. You can pick one up for about $75. Buy a Abit NF7-S rev. 2 for about $90. And a stick of 512MB stick of PC3200 for about $80. Then change the FSB to 400MHz and you got a 3200+!

Celeron = P4 / 2. I say it's equal to a P4 1.4Ghz. That's just an opinion.
Can you say L2 cache? Celeron 2.8 has 128k. 2200+ has 256k. 2500+ has 512k.

Man you must be new to using computers. I wouldn't give a Celeron to a child. Go with the Athlon XP. Hell it probably won't be much cost difference and you'll definitely will get better performance.
