Re: "Elmer, I am not interested in your 2-grade math.
Cache engineering usually requires at least a PhD,
with 20-something more years of active learning."

Well I have neither but you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. 1/6 bandwidth is 1/6 bandwidth. Latency doesn't improve for the K7 so what's your point.

Re: "May I remind you that the Rambus is 16-bit-wide
only? Ever heard of double-data-rate circuitry
for example? And you seem to have problems with
understanding of latencies..."

Yes Rambus is 16 bits wide but runs at 800mhz. As for latencies, I didn't mention them so how do you figure I have a problem? I would venture a guess that latency is better for the onboard L2 systems so why do you raise the issue?
