How do you turn a Pentium into a Celeron processor?

  1. Add more L2 cache

  2. Remove some L1 cache

  3. Cut out L2 cache

  4. Increase the clock speed

The correct answer is: Cut out L2 cache

A Pentium processor and a Celeron processor are two different models with different specifications. The Pentium processor typically has more features including more L2 cache and a higher clock speed. To turn a Pentium into a Celeron processor, you would need to reduce the features to match the specifications of a Celeron. Adding more L2 cache or increasing the clock speed would make the processor more powerful and therefore not turn it into a Celeron. Removing L1 cache would also not be correct as it is a necessary component for processing. The only correct option would be to cut out the L2 cache, as this removes a key feature of the Pentium and makes it more similar to a Celeron.
