I thought I purchased a Celeron 2.0Ghz, but my FreeBSD box says:

rykorp# grep -i cpu /var/run/dmesg.boot CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz (3192.02-MHz 686-class CPU) Logical CPUs per core: 2 FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 2 CPUs

Did I just win the nerd lottery, or is this the result of some stupid marketing scheme where Celeron info is returned as Pentium?

Aren't most Celerons nothing more than stripped down Pentiums? Or does FreeBSD usually indicate when you have a Pentium that is a Celeron?

I think you won the nerd lottery, but check cpuinfo just to be sure:

cat /proc/cpuinfo
