I've got an FCPGA Celeron P2 466. Will I have any trouble upgrading to an FCPGA P3?
I've got a somewhat modern Award Bios motherboard and a pc-133 RAM clock, I think - I can't tell because I'm not at my PC right now.
P2 466 is just too slow for me, I can't put up with it anymore - and I just got my paycheck ^_^

No, you don't have an FC-PGA Celeron. You might have a PPGA celeron. The 466 was only available in PPGA format, which is a PII Katmai based processor. As such, you need to find out what kind of motherboard you have to determine if a Coppermine core processor will work, and what bus speeds you can use.

but then again, he does have a "celeron p2" so I really don't know what kind of motherboard he's using.
