Chic, OTOT, Intel, AMD>Re: Impressive. >>What's the clock speed of the L2 cache?<< (T V-) (Who cares,( (Chic) You should care. The one significant advantage Intel has had with the PIII vs. Athlon is their full speed on die L2 cache, which AMD hasn't been able to do until (maybe) now. This is what Intel says: . The Advanced Transfer Cache (ATC) consists of microarchitecural enhancements to provide a higher data bandwidth interface into the processor core that is completely scaleable with the processor core frequency For an AMD groupie, which you sound like, you can't be checking into the AMD thread much or you'd know this. The 2 most important parameters for L2, like any other memory, are size and speed. Find out how fast that T-bird cache goes! Tony
