No such beast exists- the R4400/250 had 2MB cache.
What you want to look for on the bottom of the processor module is the
PM number
(e.g. PM1, PM2 ... PM5,)
PM1 = R4000/100
PM2 = R4400/150 (both these will work in an Indigo, higher ones won't
(CPU voltage drops from 5V to 3.3V above this frequency)
PM3 = R4400/200
PM4 = R4600/133 (? not positive)
PM5 = R4400/250/2MB SC
PMT = R8000/75
PMT5 = R10000 at 175 or 195MHz.
PM6 = R4400/175
PM7 = R4400/200/2MB SC
Quick Indigo compatibility check- if the circuit board extends beyond
the big aluminum heatsink it's not a PM2 and can only be used in an
Indigo2 (unless it's a PM1 100MHz R4000, as that doesn't use the same
heatsink. The board will still be square, though, rather than
rectangular). If the board has some exposed memory chips, then it's a
2MB SC module, either 200MHz or 250MHz. If the heatsink has a fan, then
it's a R10k module.
