kash, re:"this cache story on the whole k6-2+ and k6-3+ is VERY worrying IMHO." Would Athlons and or Copper Athlons with on die cache be subject to the same problems as rumored with the aluminum K6s? Just asking, still digging here. steve

Re: this cache story on the whole k6-2+ and k6-3+ is VERY worrying IMHO... They can just put in a 128K L1 like the Athlon uses. It'll be much faster. They don't even need an L2 on a low end chip. Besides, if AMD can crank out volume with a 128K L1, they can do a 128K L2. Now tell me why Intel hasn't been able to produce anything with an L1 bigger than 32K. Dan
