  I don't believe this is correct; Celeron is designed to fit SLot 1,
same as the PII.  It does take a special mounting bracket (if you
don't want to stress it when the fan is attached).
  It's *possible* that 440FX and 440LX chipsets don't properly
recognize it (I don't know anyone who has tried), but it seems
unlikely.
