The original Celeron (2-3 years ago) had no L2 
cache, but 2nd generation and above do have an integrated L2 cache.

  You are correct about the Celeron it has no 
  cache. As a general rule, when I buy a new computer, I want the hardware not 
  to be integrated.  Its cheaper and easier to make changes and 
  repairs.

    two cents is don’t purchase a computer with an integrated graphics card, 
    especially with 4mb ram.  That’s 
    like buying a car with a governor that keeps it below 45mph.<SPAN 
    style="mso-spacerun: yes">  The Cache is different from the Ram 
    memory.  It resides near the 
    processor and offloads tasks to free up the processor and allows faster 
    throughput.  256K is what comes 
    with a Celeron chip and the Pentium usually has 512K.<SPAN

    looking at new computer  and also thinking of buying a good charting 
    program. Dell told me  this new computer I am thinking of 
    purchasing has a graphic card that is 'integrated', meaning unremovable, 
    and also 4mb ram only.   He suggested I check first to see if 
    it may not be strong enough for my intended charting software program. 
    He also mentioned the cache is 256mb , and I read a good charting 
    program needs to work on 512mb cache.    I am thinking of 
    putting 256x2 mb ram onto this new computer. 
          Is Cache & Ram 2 different kinds of 
    memories?  I thought I know I lot, but now I really think I know 
    nothing...:-( TYIA for any guidances.... Have a nice 
    weekend, all of you :-)<SPAN
