Some people think that external "sound cards" are better than ones inside the computer. Due to less electrical noise from the PC components. I'm talking about external units that hook up via USB or Firewire ports. Personally I haven't had any experience with those external devices.
I'd stay away from Celeron processors as they're just not as powerful as a P4 or AMD chips. But that's not based on how it sounds, just how fast and how well the computer works. AMD have generally been more focussed on gaming applications so are more geared towards audio and visual appplications than Intel chips.
