Glenn is correct.  Any Celeron with a speed of greater than 300 (and even some
of the 300s) has an-chip L2 cache of 128KB.  This cache is smaller than the
PIII's cache, and the PII's cache, but it is faster than the latter, as the PII
cache was off-chip.

In fact, the newer Celerons are excellent CPUs, excellent value for the money.

Kind regards,

Significantly cripped??  That's not true since Intel added the L2 cache
to later Celerons, is it?
