Ten,

I wonder how much a slower L2 cache is really going to hurt Athlon performance

It depends on the critical word latency. The fact that the remainder of the L2 cache line is moved into the L1 cache more slowly, does not necessarily impact desktop performance very much.

It is entirely possible that the 800MHz L2 latency may be less than the 700MHz latency.
