James, re: no L2 cache on Pentium II.

Anyone with a Pentium II want to try disabling L2 cache in the BIOS? Then try something compute-intensive like doing a real long search-and-replace in Word or recalculating last year's taxes. I'll try it on my K6 tomorrow.

I have a feeling that the L2 Cacheless PII is either misinformation by Intel or a very temporary problem until they build a PII with built-in L2 cache (Like AMD's K6-3D chips will have.)

One interesting thing about "SLIT 1" is that its only claimed that it is "electrically" compatible, i.e., that it can use the same chipset. Since they don't claim it, I expect that it is mechanically incompatible with SLOT 1..
