But on a Celeron "A" (or on a PII) the L2 is onboard the processor
package and the chipset/motherboard has nothing to do with caching
memory...unless there is L3 cache on the motherboard. I haven't
heard of this happening yet.
Of course, on a socket seven board the chipset ultimately determines
cacheability. (Provided the proper cache is present.)
