Paul, <OFF TOPIC> Well you can't expect me to change completely overnight now can you? ;-) Actually I do have a serious question. Do you not think Intel is making a mistake with the cachelss pentium II's. They stand to lose a lot of face in terms of magazine reviews etc. I mean what Intel (and a lot of companies bank on) is the relative stupidity of the majority of their customers (why else who anyone in their right minds buy such a device anyway). My point is, these devices will be announced and all the consumer will see is MHz.. and they won't know the difference (most of them) to realize that the L2 cache makes a big difference for ANY modern day processor (with current memory architectures).. thoughts? Steve Cyrix Rules!
