Keep in mind that "Centrino" is not just the processor, it also depends on what wireless card you have.

If there's no Centrino sticker on it, then it's not a Centrino.

Centrino is actually a group of stuff bunched together:

Processor
Motherboard
RAM
Video card

most importantly
BUILT IN WIRELESS NETWORK CARD
if you dont' have the wireless network card, it's not a centrino.

Straight from the horse's mouth - 3 components to make it a Centrino package:
1. Intel Pentium M processor
2. Mobile Intel 915 Express chipset family or Intel 855 chipset family
3. Intel PRO/Wireless Network Connection Family
