Hello,

how relevant is the determined CPU type?
I have a Celeron and I get different reports from different OSs.

from NetBSD:
cpu0: Intel Pentium III (E) (686-class)

from OpenBSD:
cpu0: Intel Pentium III (Coppermine) ("GenuineIntel" 686-class, 128KB L2 cache) 631 MHz
cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,SYS,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,MMX,FXSR,SIMD

from Linux:
CPU: Intel Pentium III (Coppermine) stepping 06
Checking 386/387 coupling... OK, FPU using exception 16 error reporting.
Checking 'hlt' instruction... OK.

Is Celeron enough compatible with Pention III?
