P, Re -- IMO, Intel might as well not even release the Covington until then, its performance will be so bad. He he he he he... Intel will release the covington and it wont be for the 100 Mhz bus. He he he he.. And it will beat the pants (speaking of castrated) off the K6-233. He he he he he.. Stockman

<The EX chipset will allow external L2 cache and support 100 MHz bus.> John, you misread the article. Here's what it said. "Intel did not add an option to the 440EX that would allow installing an external L2 cache on the board. " I also couldn't find anything about a 100mhz bus. <Oh, one other thing -- the EX chipset will only support 3 PCI slots and 2 SDRAM modules. Lets see, 3D accelerator board, PCI sound card, network card and I'm full. No place to put SCSI or video capture or cable modem board or whatever!> I think it still has AGP so that frees up 1 more PCI slot. I think! EP
