Milo, RE:""All parts will be sold as as K6-2+s with a guaranteed working 128 kb of L2 cache, but most parts will be able to use 256 KB L2-cache, so why not use the full 256 KB? Reports are coming in that with most K6-2+ we will be able to enable the remaining 128 KB cache through the BIOS. Can you believe that? "" Yes but we have known this. This is an extremely prudent way of doing things. Cuts down on the waste, raises yields. Won't be near as many large dumpsters behind the AMD FABs as there apparently are behind the Floppermine FABS...<G> Then again, some Coppermine Celerons could be Floppermines w/128k bad cache disabled and no SSE...who knows. Maybe PB would know. Jim Jim
