RE:"The 100 MHz bus speed RAM is a joke when it comes to a Pentium II. What do you gain, 1% maybe? On the other hand the 100 MHz bus is a real friend to the socket 7 processors like the K6."

Jim,

With the introduction of K6-3, bus speed will become a non-issue on socket 7 as well. The presence of a large onboard L2 will reduce CPU to dram traffic by at least 90%, making bus speed much less important. This should also hold true for future C6 chips with 128K L1.
