Help with a PIII-question!

[steimm]

I've just visit a friend that has a PIII 733 MHz (yeah, I know - One of the worst PIII's - as if there is any good PIII's ;-)...).

When I ran SiSoftSandra2001 on the computer Sandra told us that it was a Celeron-cpu and the L2-cache was 128KB, how can that be possible? And Sandra said that L3-cache (?????) was 256KB, what is L3 or is that the same as L2 (just a bug in Sandra?)?
The FSB was at 133MHz so it can't (at least i think so) be a Celeron, or has he bought a PC with a CPU that the retailer has overclocked to the limit?

you can either open the box & visually check the markings or use the cpuid utility from intel! 🙂
