> Isn't that the chip that doesn't support L2 cache?
This is the 5th message like this that I've recieved.. So I'm posting it
back to the list so I'll hopefully not get any more.. I guess Intel has
sucessfully kept this quiet..
The Celeron 300a has 128k of ON-CHIP (ya know, same die) Full clock speed
L2 cache (ala Xeon). Because of this, it has simmlar performance to the
normal PII 300 on most apps. (Although it does perform worse on some
things, it performs better on others)..
Intel is counting on people not knowing this and contiuning to assoiate
celeron = junk, so that it doesn't hurt the sales of their more expensive
chips.
