Comment(by siarzhuk):

 Replying to [comment:4 v]:
 > the bug might still be valid, provided the reporter and CPU model string
 aren't wrong about it being a Celeron.

 AFAIR, "Intel Processor Identification and CPUID function" requires to
 investigate contents of Brand ID register to distingush Celeron from PIII.

 IMO, all those "pagan dances" with parsing of model strings have nothign
 to do with consistency and should be thrown away. :-\
