Ten, regarding your response to Dan's claim:

The rule of thumb is that if you don't quadruple cache, don't bother. Taking P4 from 256K to 1 megabyte of cache would be expected to increase performance by 5%. Taking it to 512K would make a 2GHZ perform like a 2.05GHZ

The absurdity of this claim can be easily seen by looking at SPEC scores for 700MHz PIII 256K L2 compared to 700MHz PIII Xeon with 2MB L2. Same frequency yet the Xeon shows a 40% improvement in integer scores with the addition of the larger L2.
