John, you need to get more in touch with the facts. All P6 generation processors have had a seperate L2 cache bus. It's not something new for Deschutes. All P6 generation processors are designed for multiprocessor systems, if so desired. Slot1 runs at 66mhz today, but it won't stay there. There is no definition restricting it to 66mhz. There are currently 2 chipsets for the P6 generation of Intel processors. The 440FX and the 440LX. Both support 1 or 2 processors. The 440LX supports AGP and SDRAM, while the 440FX supports only FPM & EDO memory and has no AGP support. Both support only a 66mhz host bus but there is a rumor that the upcoming 440BX will support a 100mhz host bus. Both chipsets appear with slot1, while the 440FX is available with socket8 as well. Checkout Intel's website if you are going to make claims. Deschutes is not available yet so Intel hasn't posted facts on it yet, but enough has been discussed that you can find it out if you try. EP
