Re: "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?"

Ali, we are left with 2 possibilities.

#1 The likes of IBM, Compaq, HP, NEC, Dell, Sequent, Unisys etc etc are totally clueless and are wasting their money on Xeons when a PII would do as well in their servers

or

#2 Ali doesn't get it.

I pick #2.
