McPanic - Re: :"Amazing how Paul has selective memory. <G> Kind of like that "non-boot" problem with the K6-2 and Win 95b"

Looks like your memory is either selective or completely gone KAPUT -

The 0.25 micron Pentium /// is 122 sq. mm.

The 0.18 micron Coppermine with 256K on-chip L2 cache ALREADY IS 109 sq. mm.

Thus, the SLOWER 0.18 micron K7 WITHOUT ANY on-chip L2 cache - and running at 1/3 speed or 1/2 speed off-chip L2 cache - will not only be about the same size as Coppermine, but significantly slower due to the slower off-chip L2 cache.

Sorry to be the one to bring REALITY to you Jimbo AND Kal Kan !

Paul
