T., 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? I think you have it backward. SMP is necessary for a large cache processor to have any appeal. Large cache is not necessary for SMP, but it can be very useful. You realize, of course, that Cascades-based servers normally have many gigabytes of memory, and that the DOS memory space is hardly ever touched? My comment on large cache processors and DOS is completely unrelated to servers. It was just an observation that what once was a total main memory of a computer, now is becoming an L2 cache. I think withing 10 years or so, L2s for servers will be what once used to be a hard drive - 10 to 20 MB. Joe
