surely the 256k on chip(P3) runs faster than 512k off chip(P2) I don't think it runs at CPU speed, as I'm sure they are many wait state thrown in, but granted it's considerably faster. The following quote is from Intel's web site. "Advanced Transfer Cache technology includes 256K of on-die, full-speed level two cache that utilizes a wider path between the processor and level two cache memory. Advanced System Buffering technology increases the number of "buffers" that speed the information from the system bus to the processor. These new technologies boost performance up to 25 percent at the same clock speed over previous Pentium III processors.** " See developer.intel.com for the source for this quote. I extracted it from the paragraph with the following heading. "Re-Architecting Pentium III Processor Technology for All Segments"
