Jozef - Re: "...none of the Slot 1 CPUs have L2 running at processor
speed, and all of the Slot 2 CPUs have L2 running at the CPU speed. Is it a correct assumption?"

That is the current status.

However, there are no technical reasons (that I know of) that the Deschutes (0.25 micron Pentium II) cannot be packaged in a Slot 1 SEC with full CPU speed L2 cache.

Price/Cost is the dominant issue as the Slot 2 uses two (or more) special 450 MHz L2 SRAMS manufactured by Intel. These SRAMS also include on chip TAG RAMs.

Joe Halada, you said:

I do not believe that is correct. Slot1 CPUs have the L2 cache running at 1/2 CPU speed. I do not know about the Slot2 CPUs.

John.
