                               Intel Celeron E3300 CPU Processor
                                       - I paired this CPU to 2GB DDR2-800 and it works fine.
- This CPU works great. It has a good memory speed.
- This processor has more cache than the old Celerons, I like it.
- 1MB L2 cache is definitely an advantage of this processor.
- It has a small L2 cache, so the chip overclocks well and does not heat up.
