Barry, re: "I wonder if the PII will ever fall to below $200, given its built-in cache memory." Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you're thinking that PII has L2 cache built into the processor package, a' la Pentium Pro. PII is not like PPro in that respect. L2 is on the slot 1 cartridge and is SRAM provided by companies like IDT. Of course, PII does have L1 cache built in, and it's on the same silicon slab as the CPU. Therefore, given successful conversion to 0.25 micron with good yields (what other kind does Intel do) PII could become a low priced chip like the other Pentiums have become. Tony
