Steve, <if AMD wanted a wider l2 data bus on tbird they would have put it there. Just like if Intel WANTED 1MB of L2 cache on every coppermine it would be there. But it isn't. Why? Not because of the engineers, it's the marketting guys.> I suppose AMD didn't care about trivial engineering stuff like die size, manufacturability, time-to-market, complexity of redesign, etc. Like I said before, I'm not trying to second-guess AMD's decision making. But I really don't think the limitations were purposely put in there just because marketing wanted some artificial segmentation. Tenchusatsu
