Um, no. Celaron's are very close in speed to PII. They both use the same
core, but the celaron's have less 2L cache that runs at the same speed as
the processor while the PII's cache runs at 1/2 or 1/3 the speed of the
processor. This means they run at very similar speeds. This is also the
reason new moble PII and PIII are faster then desktop versons at same speed.
In the mobles the cache is now on die and runs at the same speed as the
processor.

Celaron 300 vs PII 366, but you're right - not much performance difference.
I didn't like the TP240, BTW, and IBM's support for NT40 on it sucked.
