Why is Celeron cheaper than the Pentium?
And what are the AMD equivelents of Intel's line of processors?
Pentium = What AMD processor? Xeon = What AMD processor? Celeron = What AMD processor?

Because they have less cache, or have less capabilities.
Pentium - AMD Athlon XP Xeon - AMD Athlon MP really for server use Celeron - AMD Duron

To clarify what Francis mentioned, Duron is (in most cases) cheaper than celeron, and it performs better. However, I am not up to date on the comparison between the celeron 2.0 and however far duron has reached (1.3 last time i checked).
The 2.0 celerons are decent enough, but I have heard that an AMD XP 1600+ blows it away in benchmarks. But in a Mhz scale, duron beats celeron hands down. I am sure that if AMD got the duron up to 2.0Ghz, it would destroy the celeron 2.0. AMD is just more concerned with their XP line instead.
Summary: I have two questions, 1) What is the point of Dual DDR on an AMD board when the maximum FSB is 400Hz and 2) On most boards, is the memory clock or bus speed affected by the system clock? Thanks Shau...
