Kevin - re: "I guess it never occured to you that the SRAMs used on the Super 7 boards are DIRT CHEAP while the 250 MHz SRAMs used in the PIII brick are EXPENSIVE. More than twice as expensive, actually."

I doubt that - since Intel is buying these by the TENS of MILLIONS !

And if it were true, it would still be a factor of 2X in Intel's favor since Pentium II/III uses only 512K of L2 cache but the Sharpy Eye chip requires 2 Meg L3 cache (= 4 x 512K) to be competitive.
