Elmer, Yes please do eloborate on the other Roberts question. The article I was refering to was the one in my last post containing news articles from today. Here is a qoute. On the low end of the Deschutes line, Intel will jettison much of the expensive, fancy packaging. New, low-end Pentium IIs will use a more simplified circuit board and not contain additional "cache" memory, said Nathan Brookwood, semiconductor analyst for Dataquest. Cache memory is used to bridge the gap between the speed at which the processor operates and how fast memory can feed it with data. In addition, a fourth-quarter release of Deschutes will eschew the "Slot 1" cartridge and use a chip package similar in concept to the older Pentium, added Kumar, saving further costs. news.com TIA, Robert
