It has half of the L2 cache (1 MiB) of the low end Core 2 Duo (2 MiB cache) and lacks both SpeedStep and Virtualization Technology. It also features Intel 64 technology and XD-bit support with 533 MHz FSB. poor you, a celeron...ack! my return to all my crunchers keeps getting delayed. maybe by this weekend. couldn't take it anymore, being without a laptop. grabbed a cheap gateway at bestbuy ($300 - $50 giftcard) for a Celeron-M 1.6ghz and 1mb L2 cacche. Certainly not the greatest, but for a $250 laptop, what the heck. going to see how Rosie likes it. hmm..penguin eggs and canadian bacon. should be marketed as breakfast from the north. to bad the orange juice and coffee comes from the south. guess we will have to call it the north/south breakfast ... and Canadian bacon Great. I need my eggs in the morning. @:^) ID: 47781 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
