I saw they do have 256 KB L2 cache now on Mobile Celeron 1,8 GHz and higher, e.g. on Satellite 1110 A210 laptops, but I still have to thank you both, because your explanations and link make me understand this stuffs better. So, I'll have to tell my brother, if they make 512 KB L2 cache on this Celeron, I think they should call it Pentium ;-) - Jacobus J. S. (Kiki) -
