If you read the fine print carefully it says the 100,
120 and 133Mhz models have no cache but can be
upgraded to Pentium 133 with 256K L2 cache by
replacing the processor card. It's the same one used
in the 760E! Or they could just take a 760E and call
it an EL. I guess it depends on whether you believe
the marketing hype or not.
