If you try this web page (and click "Go"),

http://processorfinder.intel.com/scripts/default.asp?CHRID=25

the ones with the "t" in front are Tualatin 0.13u, the
ones with "c" in front are Coppermine 0.18u. The "k"
could be Katmai, but I'm just guessing on that one, as
I never used anything older than Coppermine.

If you really want to know what you've got, use the SSPEC
code. It is five characters, as in "SLxxx". The order
code is another way to access information on a processor.
The numbers are printed on the box, and should be on
the processor label in some form.

Yes, anything P3 in .25 micron or 512K L2 cache (until
Tualatin) was Katmai which started the P3 family.

The OP's CPU does seem to be a coppermine but I can't help
but wonder what's with the lack of information poster's
provide these days... like the speed or socket/slot format,
etc, etc.
