http://www.intel.com/design/celeron/index.htm http://www.intel.com/pentiumII/specs/fact.htm I suggest that you analyze the main bus speeds for the processor that comes in the model you are seeking, rather than the cach capacity. If you can get "read afford :-)" the model that has a 100Mhz main bus speed, you will have the most up to date "read upgradeable" system.
