Your Celeron 500 is probably a CeleronII. This is the successor of the
CeleronA and it's based on the .18� Coppermine core of the PIII. Only
the cache and the L2 associativity have been altered, and it runs on a
slower Front Side Bus speed.

Linux Mandrake is correct in telling you that you have a PIII ;-)

BUT, the CeleronII's performance is WAY of that of a regular PIII due to
the mentioned L2 cache associativity...

cat /proc/cpuinfo should tell you more.
