This puzzles me: the reason advanced for the easy overclockability of
the original Celeron was that it came with NO L2 cache and that the
cache in the PII was the most speed-sensitive component.

Now we have Celerons with 128kB of FULL_SPEED L2 cache and people can
still overclock by factors like 1.5?  I'd have thought the full-speed L2
cache was closer to the limits than the half-speed stuff - weird...

Anyone comment on this?

PS: No flames please. I'm interested for technical reasons only, and I
have no interest in actually overclocking any chips myself.
