    I bought a Toshiba Satellite that has the Centrino Duo sticker and the Duo Core Processor T2050 w/ a clock speed of 1.6, FSB of 533, and 2 MG of L2 Cache, but when I added on Norton Utilites and did the "Check It" program it said the CPU type was a Celeron MMX. When I installed Intel's processor identification utility it said it was a Duo Core Processor but under the CPU Type column it said "O".

    My question is, could this really be two (duo) Celeron processors instead of Pentium processors? However, all the specs I have seen on Intel's site indicate the Celeron M processors only have up to 1 MG of L2 cache with 1.6 MHz and 533 FSB and the Pentium M processors do have 2 MG L2 cache so could the Norton utility be wrong?

    Also, what does it mean by "family" and is that a key to what type of processor it is?:
