AFAIK the K6-III has a L2 cache, so your on board L2 (if your
motherboard has one, most Super Socket 7's have a 512KB/1MB L2) becomes
L3. I don't know for the K6-2+ if it has an internal L2. All I know about
the K6-2+ is that it's core voltage is 2.0V, the previous K6-2 is 2.2V. I
seldom see the K6-3 in computer shops here, although there are a lot of
K6-2+'s and Durons. If you can spare the extra cash, go for the duron,
it's amd's match for the celeron but piii class in performance.
