Sorry Dwayne, according to cpu-world.com
(http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/80686/index.html)

"Intel Pentium II line of processors is based on sixth generation x86 
processor core. The Intel Pentium II line consists of 6 different 
families:

  a.. Pentium Pro - high performance version. The Pentium Pro family was 
replaced by the Pentium II Xeon family.
  b.. Pentium II - desktop family.
  c.. Mobile Pentium II - mobile version of the Pentium II processor.
  d.. Pentium II Xeon - high performance version.
  e.. Desktop Celeron - low-cost version.
  f.. Mobile Celeron - mobile version of Intel Celeron processor."

The Pentium Pro was available in several configurations, including a 133 
MHz. version with a 256 KB L2 cache.
