Jim,

Are you familiar with /proc/cpuinfo and lspci ?

Learning to read the information provided by those tools can unlock a
world of diagnostic goodness. When I encounter unknown hardware the
first thing I try is booting from a Linux LiveCD and running those two
commands.

/proc/cpuinfo will tell you the "stepping" for a CPU, as well as flag a
number of CPU idiosyncrasies. If you know how to read the information,
you can find out if it is an old Celeron or a newer one.

Cheers,
Steven Black
