Joe, I don't understand what you're trying to say. AMD said months back that large-cache CPUs wasn't necessary for SMP. Now they're saying Palomino for SMP has more cache. I ask again, what has changed from then 'til now?

<What I find amazing about chips like the Cascades P6 is that the entire DOS memory space + 1 MB of extended memory will fit in the L2 cache.>

You realize, of course, that Cascades-based servers normally have many gigabytes of memory, and that the DOS memory space is hardly ever touched?
