Re: [TCLUG:4691] building box, budget $1000

The Celeron chips have little or no L2 cache though.
One report I heard was the Celeron 300 with no L2 cache ran similar to a
Pentium 266, not much better than a 233MMX.  The Celeron 300a has 128kb L2
cache but it's still a far cry from 512kb cache in a normal Pentium CPU.
