[Gllug] What kind of Celeron do I have

Greetings all,

I'm trying to build a customised kernel for a fairly new Celeron-based
box.  There are several options for Celeron processors in the processor
type field (pre-Coppermine, Coppermine, P4-based) of the kernel setup.
How can I tell which one I've got?

The output of "cat /proc/cpuinfo" is:

processor       : 0
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 15
model           : 4
model name      : Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.66GHz
stepping        : 1
cpu MHz         : 2661.912
cache size      : 256 KB
fdiv_bug        : no
hlt_bug         : no
f00f_bug        : no
coma_bug        : no
fpu             : yes
fpu_exception   : yes
cpuid level     : 5
wp              : yes
flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge
mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe pni
monitor ds_cpl cid xtpr
bogomips        : 5275.64

I've tried web searching for methods of identifying a CPU, but most of
them seem to involve looking at markings on the chip, and said chip is
nestling underneath a rather complex heat-sink arrangement.  The last
thing I want to do is dig it out.  Intel offer a Windows program for
identifying the CPU, but that isn't a lot of use to me.  Surely there
must be a table somewhere to translate between family/model/stepping
above and the marketing names as used by the kernel configuration?

TIA,
John
