Jim - Re: "It does concern me that you won't be able to add L2 cache to the covington after the fact. Where as it seems you can with a K6 sub $1000" Let's be real specific here. There is NOTHING to prevent adding L2 cache to the PentiumII or Deschutes AFTER THE FACT - IF the chip is provided in an appropriate package to a board maker. IF Intel keeps the Pentium II/Deschutes soldered internally to a PC card as a Slot 1 cartridge, then NO L2 cache can be added to a system. The limiting factor here is the Slot 1/SEC cartridge - NOT the PentiumII/Deschutes. Paul
