Wanna, I've always thought that 512KB L2 cache on the Pentium 4 processor would prompt AMD to release an Athlon with 512KB of L2. If what some of the AMD investors say is true, and Intel will have capacity with their 130nm 300mm wafer manufacturing that outweighs demand, then they ought to put 1MB of L2 cache on their processors, and see if AMD follows suit with that. Mightn't you get heat and (related) maximum clock speed problems á la big cache Xeons? Seems a bit like hanging a trailer on a sports car. Tony
