I think so, look here:
http://www.intel.com/design/celeron/prodbref/index.htm

It doesn't seem to be a 64 bit chip but it does have 64 bit memory
addressing capabilities so ....

Maybe someone more knowledgeable of Intel products can answer this?

No!

Did you see this?

It seems the Celeron D has 64 bit memory extensions????

Installation of Microsoft Windows* XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) on systems using
Intel® Desktop Processors

For a successful installation of Microsoft* Windows* XP Service Pack 2 (SP2)
on systems using Intel® Pentium® 4 or Intel® Celeron® D processors, Intel
recommends a check of the system BIOS to ensure that it is a BIOS with Intel
production support for the installed processor. Using a BIOS that does not
support the matching processor may cause the system to hang on the first
reboot during installation of Microsoft Windows XP SP2.

If a system hangs it could be due to a BIOS that did not have Intel
production support for the installed processor. In this event, you should
contact your system or motherboard manufacturer or your place of purchase to
obtain a stand-alone boot procedure to install the matching BIOS for your
processor so Microsoft Windows XP SP2 can resume installation.

OK, I shall go clean my glasses...

So installing X64 requires either an AMD 64 bit processor or an Intel
processor with 64 bit extensions, here's a chart showing which is
which.

No. The Celeron D is a 32 bit processor. It does not support the x86-64
instruction set. The only chips that support the new Windows XP
Professional x64 Edition are AMD64, Intel EM64T, and Opteron chips.
