I'm wondering if a fan is needed for the 1ghz celeron or just a heatsink. I'm
puttung it it a gateway that has a fan blowing from the Power supply.Thanks

You don't *need* a fan if you have a VERY VERY big heatsink (though it
would probably still be pretty hot), but I'd definately recommend one. You
don't need anything big though, like the size fans they use on
P4s/AthlonXPs.

If the Gateway still has an original power supply fan shroud directing the
airflow, you might be able to use a large passive heatsink, but not simply
a 'sink meant to have a fan on it but with the fan removed. You might
then need to partially block the shroud passage so all the air gets
directed though the 'sink.

It's must easier to use a fanned heatsink, and they can be plenty quiet
if a median sized 'sink has a low RPM fan or a voltage-reduced fan.
 
The setup now is a P3 500 with just a sink attached.The heatsink is nothng
special.Just some folded aluminum fins. The PS has a fan directly above the
cpu. just wonder if the 1ghz celeron puts out the same amount of heat.

I'm not sure. For some reason I thought the PIII went to .18 process in
SECC format but that not all were, so it might depend on which you have.
The main thing might be the heatsink you used, some of the PIII had mamoth
sized 'sinks, too big for most slotkets anyway.

You should be able to find the electricals/heat here:

From that it looks like both the Tualatin and Coppermine Celeron 1GHz are
within a watt of the PIII500, which doesn't seem right (that the Tualatin
and Coppermine are so close) but if i had guessed without looking at the
chart the guess would've been that the Celeron was at most 5W hotter, not
very significant so long as you had the air duct working efficienty.

Both the PIII 500 and 550 were available as either Katmai or Coppermine in
the SECC format. Anything above 550 was Coppermine (0.18). PIIIs in the SECC
format went up to at least 1Ghz, and a little beyond maybe.

I'm not surprised. The only difference really was the doubled L2 cache and
the actual die size. The CPU as such was very similar but the Tualatin ran
at a lower vcore, hence less heat. The extra 128KB of L2 cache bought the
heat out-put back up to a similar level.
