If you don't play games or watch videos, then what is slowing down a
1700 MHz Celeron (or any other 1700 MHz CPU) so that you want faster?
The most important thing is to have enough memory. With that Celeron
box, doing whatever you do that seems slow, run top and check that you
still have enough memory. Perhaps all you need is a memory upgrade.
I don't play games either. I can do everything but watch videos on my
P-II with 64 MB ram, however Iceweasel hits swap. Heck, Xorg + icewm +
rxvt hits swap.
