SEPP = Single edge processor package.

FC-PGA = Flip chip pin grid array.

FC-PGA2 = FC-PGA with added heat spreader.

MMX = Multimedia extensions; 57 additional instructions for graphics and sound processing.

SSE = Streaming SIMD (single instruction multiple data) extensions; MMX plus 70 additional instructions for graphics and sound processing.

SSE2 = Streaming SIMD extensions 2; SSE plus 144 additional instructions for graphics and sound processing.

The "Celeron Version" names listed here are not official; I made them up as a way to clearly identify the different Celeron processors.

Minimum and maximum speeds indicate the slowest and fastest rated speeds of each variation offered.
