First of all there is no Celeron R. The "R" means "Registered Trademark". BUT there are Celeron D and Celeron M. The old Celerons were ANEMIC counterparts of the Pentiums. In budget computers, they took a lot of beating from AMD's Semprons.
But things changed with the Celeron Ms that were based on the Dothan and Yonah cores. They had almost similar performance as their Pentium counterparts. Only a few features were disabled. The latest Celeron 420/430 (Conroe L) are just single core versions of the new Pentium E2140/E2160 since there are no more new single core Pentiums. The performance of the new Celerons are unbeatable in the budget segment.

Celeron is a cheaper type of Pentium. Intel produces a scaled down type of Processor whic was an answer to AMD options which are much cheaper type of processors compared to Intels Pentium Series. Celeron also comes in different series just like you have pentium for 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Generally, they are both processors by the same manuafacturers but Pentium Series is much better and ofcourse more expensive.

A celeron is just a stepped down version of a pentium. Its kind of like a honda civic to a honda accord. Its less of a car, but it still gets you there. The celeron is based off of the pentium, but with certain features removed to make it cheaper.

A Celeron is a low end processor for inexpensive machines. eMachines uses them on most of their current low end models.
Intel's Core 2 Duo is the current favorite, but if you wish to save money and have to use Intel rather than AMD due to your motherboard, a Pentium D (Dual core) will do the trick.
Of course, check for compatibility with your motherboard e.g. socket 775?
