David - Re: "the G3s from Apple and notice that their speedy snail does the same thing as the the PII Slot I you mention, that is, put L2 cache side by side with the processor on a dedicated "backside" bus." This is an excellent observation - THANKS! And what it illustrates is that Intel and IBM/Moto/Apple have advanced the technology and CPU architecture to address fundamental speed problems - with a backside cache. The Socket 7 whiners keep trashing Slot 1, only because it is a clear and painful reminder that AMD and Cyrix, stuck on Socket 7, are technologically behind the leaders - saddled with inferior products - and imminent obsolescence.
