The new Celerons (300A and 333) have 128K of L2 cache clocked at the
processor speed (ala Xeon) compared to the PII's that have 512K of L2 cache
clocked at 1/2 the processor speed.

When you say PII with full speed cache, are you referrring to the
Xeon?

By half speed cache PIIs do you mean normal PIIs?
