You need to confirm the socket type that the chip uses.
Intel changes their sockets almost as much as apple keeps hawking new ipods.
Older celerons use a completely different socket to newer chips. Granted the last experience i had with celeron was about the p3.

New motherboard
Celerons are (typiaclly) socket 370, Celeron D is socket 478.
Besides, if the socket type was the same the BIOS on your board would be unlikely to support a 2.9GHz processor even if you flashed it with the latest version.
