Paul,

Investor A was making the point that the PII-300 runs hot, and isn't a good buy at all. You raise an excellent point--it's last year's technology. I guess Investor A is right--why buy last year's .35u technology when you can buy this years .25u K6-300, which runs cooler, for less?

Of course, Intel does have this year's technology. The 0.25 micron Pentium II at 333 Mhz dissipates 23 watts including L2 cache. But how much of the 23 watts is accounted for by the cache? My conclusion is that the 15 watt dissipation of the K6 is nothing to get excited about--it's certainly not a lot in comparison to Intel's .25u products. So why were you so worked up over it?

Kevin
