John Wang: <How much current do the 512K L2 cache on a Socket-7 motherboard and the support chips draw? More than 1.4 amps!>

And my stove at home draws about 40 Amps at 120V. It sits very close to one of my K6 computers. Should I be concerned about overall inferiority of this power combination?

(And I was going to say that JYW was not so stupid to claim that the bigger P-II dice is a very important performance feature :-))))

John, you made it so-so, as Yousef.

John,
Re -- Petz...

Please do not respond to his "high school" knowledge of electronics.

He is only here to confuse the readers, with his nonsensical posts.

JYW, RE:<The reason why the over-all DC current is higher is because of higher frequency of operation.>

Not so, a Pentium II at 233 MHz, not counting its cache draws 14.2 amps vs. 10.2 for the K6-233.

Slot 1 was a necessity to get the power dissipation up, and they knew AMD could not convert the motherboard industry to a proprietary format.
