Pal, <Since Compaq was the only major OEM to use this part, I think the BOX MAKERS made the decision that a 400 MHZ K6-2 wasn't worth much more than a 300 or 350 MHz K6-2.>
Another AMD K6-2/400MHz machine is on BestBuy shelves,
looks like made by CTX.

<After all, they each are stuck with
a fixed 100 MHz L2 cache speed.>
I don't recall any gain in performance
of Xeon with 1:1 cache as compared to
2:1 PeeII. Do you? After all, the notion
of ROI is equally applicable to silicon
estate - return on silicon investment
in Xeons is about zero. Do you
comprehend this?
