"Pentium II 233-300
This was the successor to the Pentium PRO, and is basically a mix of a high
end CPU along with features for home users. While the Pentium Classic CPUs
kicked some sand on AMD's line of CPUs, the Pentium II buried it completely
under. Basically these were the first of Intel CPUs to carry the exterior
cartridge, known as SECC (or Single Edge Contact Cartridge) which carried
the external L2 cache. On previous Intel CPUs, the cache was on the actual
motherboard and ran at the speed of the system bus (which in most cases was
66mhz), whereas now it ran at exactly 1/2 the CPU speed."
