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.
