Charles - Re: Does anyone know if PIII can support 1/3 multiplier for cache? I am wondering if we will see a PIII-666 with 1/3 speed cache - such a configuration would probably perform no better than PIII-600 but I wouldn't put it past Intel's marketing folks.

The PIII will not support L2 cache at 1/3 of the processor frequency. The cache is not really where their problem lies.. it's more a matter of getting the CPU to run at 600MHz in the first place - definitely not an easy task at .25mu (with the P6 core).
