And at that isn't it something like double the cache of the original Celeron?

Of course it's worth noting that whether they suck or not just about all 
current processors are i686 (Pentium Pro).  I think the AMD K6 series was 
the last i586 put in many PCs, and though they would often outperform the 
early Celerons, they wouldn't run software compiled for i686 while the 
Celerons would.
