Fiondella - If you didn't lose so much money in the stockmarket, you could afford a good Intel-based computer. Paul

The Aptiva doesn't have L2 cache. So how is this superior to Covington?

I have just skimmed some of the posts on the Covington P II. After Reading Pain Webber's take on INTC's recient forum, I am trying to get a better understanding. What exactly is the market for Covington. Yes I know it is >$1,00 PC, But doesn't the P200-233MMX do that allready ? From what I understand, Covington will preform about equal to P233MMX so why switch ? For $799 HP's p200mmx is a great deal, and can run anygame out there now. I know that will change over time, but so will the chip @ $799. Will covington be faster than K6 machines at the same price ? Will you be able to add Cache later ? Why not take the P233mmx up to 266 or 300 Mhz ? If Covington ends up with a premimum because of the Slot one design, then good old Socket 7 will end up rulling the Sub Z. My understanding is that only Slot 2 will be PC 100. Last question, Slot 2 PC 100 P-II, 400-450 replaces the PPro. It will be 1-2-4-8 chips per system. with 512, 1MB, 2MB Cache /Chip. This will enable INTC to enter the $1MM server system level. With the Advent on NT 5 and WolfPack, Is it posible that 10 $ 50,000 systems could have the same capacity Pluss the benifit of redundency, Make these systems Price prohibitive ? I know, these $ 1MM machines will challenge the AS 600 market so there will be demand. Thanks Jim
