The diff between a Cel and a PII is the L2 cache. But if you're going to upgrade your lappie from a PII to a PIII or Cel II you'd better make sure it can support the newer proc. From the PII to the PIII there was a die shrink and PIII's utilize a split plane voltage that not all PII mobo's can handle.
