Your Celeron 500 is probably a CeleronII. This is the successor of the
CeleronA and it's based on the .18µ 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.
