I think he means that the P3 is faster and cooler in general, but the laptop would only accept the Celeron.
I'm confused as well?
SL5QW is a standard Coppermine, not a Coppermine-T. In fact, an SL5QW is one of the most desirable and expensive Socket 370 chips. Being 1.1Ghz with a 100Mhz FSB, they're the fastest chip that can run in a 440BX with no AGP overclocking. They're like $100 on ebay.
... I think what he's saying is that he tried a Coppermine-T and it didn't work, so he ordered (and just received) the next best thing (SL5QW), which is basically the second best CPU you can buy for a board that doesn't support Coppermine-T (the 1.13Ghz 133Mhz FSB model being the best).
Now for some blitting from the back buffer.
