Re: "I think that they might have planned on a new Pentium II (Dixon) long before I tried to figure it out <G>" Dixon is still a mobile chip as far as I know. Call Intel investor relations and ask them about it if you want to. The fact is, Intel can't make a 256k on chip L2 version of the Pentium II for the desktop market because the die size is too big and the chip would be prohibitively expensive for a destop machine. So (intelligently, I might add) they're making it for the mobile market where it will save them on power consumption (no external L2 to support) and where they can command much higher ASPs. Therefore, it's useless to speculate how Dixon will compare with Sharptooth on the desktop. Fact of the matter is, Intel probably won't have 256k integrated L2 on the desktop until .18u and Coppermine (2H99). By then, Intel will have to compete with K7. Kevin
