Bill Re: " it was bypassed first by the vesa local bus and subsequently by the PCI bus, both of which were able to run around the microchannel. Similarly from what I read the slot one is a compact flat box involving the L2 cache, CPU, memory and system chips all together(in essence the system less the plug-in bus and small glue on the mother board. (see other comments about that). It is supposed to allow for higher speed CPUs and with the rambus and chipset ICs inside it has the potential to be Intels private room. "

Are you making this uo as you go along?

The EISA bus (NOT VESA) was set up by IBM competitors to compete against the MicroChannel Bus.

Intel does not use RAMBUS memory in its SEC/Slot 1! RAMBUS is a DRAM interface technology and the L2 cache in the Pentium II is SRAM!

There is an L2 cache controller in the SEC - not a CHIP SET!

etc., etc., etc.
