512K/256K cache on Pentium Pro

I have a Pentium Pro machine. I bought it more than a year ago. It has a dual processor motherboard with only one processor mounted on it. I want to upgrade and want to place another processor. Now, I don't know whether the mounted processor has a 256K cache or 512K cache on-board. How do I find out this fact? Also, would it make a difference in speed to have one processor with 256K cache and the other with 512K cache?

Thank you jhance.
BTW, it may be hard to find another PPro of the same rev level as the one you already have.  You may need to sell yours and get two identical new ones.  It's more expensive but you'll save yourself hours of headaches from system crashes.
