Were these upgraded, or fresh installs? The GIMPS software (still no
collective name for Prime95/Saver95/mprime/ntprime?) won't try a
redetection if there already is a CPU type entry available.

Prime95 does not detect Celerons very well.  However, if a PIII, PII or
Celeron is detected as a Pentium Pro - its no big deal.  All those CPU
types use the same code.
