Milo, Re: Way cool L2 of Thunderbird I noticed that, as well, but I was not sure if it was posted. I was a little confused by the last paragraph: Now, I'm a much bigger fan of increasing cache size as opposed to increasing associativiy as a means of decreasing miss rates. I find it monumentally silly when people tout the "amazing" benefits of going from 2-way to 4-way. But I might be able to cheer on a move from 2-way to 18-way. We'll see, I guess. I would really appreciate if Scumbria, Pete or someone else knowledgeable in this area could give us a Cache Associativity 101. TIA Joe
