God help me for disagreeing with Fuchi but so it must be. Replying to "That could not be right since the PII and L2 cache could be tested adn certified separately." 1) It is exactly because Intel can certify their cache and processor separately that they could offer a cacheless PII. A CPU without active cache would take a trash item and make it saleable. 2) To speculate that the "cacheless PII" would "2) Give end users the performance that they deserve from a $100 CPU" must be a misprint. CYRX does this now. Intel's cacheless II will be a dud. 3) "If MXi could impletement a full speed 2MB L2 cache as an expensive option, SLOT 1/2/A would be history in no time". Wrong again. MXi will beat Intel with only minimal cache. And, according to Intel's own plans in today's CRN, Slot 1/... are already history. Fuchi, whatever you are smoking I want some. But not while my fingers are near a keyboard. Craig PS Did anyone beside me notice that NSM was up today?
