Eric,
The Celeron 266 and the 300 did not have ANY cache, however the 300(A)
and the 333 had 128k of level II Cache that ran at the SAME SPEED as the
processor, not at 1/2 the speed like the Pentium II's. So the 333MHZ
Celeron does indeed run at pretty good clip. Much thanks for the info
on your Father's system.
