yes it is, though i don't see why centrino is being hyped so much. People
should try and understand that centrino is nothing more than marketing
hype and the name being used by intel for their combination of the
processor, wireless lan card and the graphics chip, i think. The processor
is a little different than the standard ones as it has more cache. But
most people would be perfectly fine with a normal P4 Mobile processor
instead of the centrino.

The celeron would work fine. Wether or not you require extra drivers
depends on the rest on the hardware in the notebook. The processor won't
need any drivers as such.
