Elmer, Intel built their own SRAMs for their Xeon systems up to 550MHz and they probably needed leading edge process technology. Wow! 550 MHz is a full speed Xeon cache! Intel has decided to temporarily suspend shipments of Boxed Intel© Pentium© lll Xeon? processors 933, 866, 800, 733, 667, 600 MHz with 256k on-die L2 cache (prior code name: Cascades) to Intel Authorized Distributors. This notice does not impact shipments of Boxed Intel Pentium lll Xeon processors 550 MHz theregister.co.uk I told this thread last year that you would never see an Athlon with full speed L2 due to manufacturing limitations. A particularly ignorant poster on this thread disagreed but he was wrong on most other things as well. I'll be looking forward to seeing that post. ;^)) Scumbria
