Paul,

There are now L2 cache signals on the Slot 1 interface to the motherboard.

Just to confirm, did you mean now or no?

Also, the 440 FX/LX/BX chip sets do not have L2 cache controllers.

What about the new chipset for Celeron (EX?)? Will Celeron work on LX/BX motherboards? I thought FX was a Socket-7 chipset.

Joe

Jim - Re: "Did you ever find out if the Celeron motherboard will
have a slot for a L2 cache? This is very important don't you
think."

There are no L2 cache signals or address/data signals on the
Slot 1 interface to the motherboard.

Also, the 440 FX/LX/BX chip sets do not have L2 cache
controllers.

So, I assume that there will be no L2 cache on a Celeron
motherboard."

Thanks...that doesn't sound good.
Intel showing up this morning. Yahoo might drag it up. <G>

Re: Of course, Intel can always add the L2 cache chips back in to the Slot 1 cartridge.

well that would compete well against pII. To make pII cheaper Intel 1st removed l2 and then added it on. The process of removing l2 before adding it on is a very high margin business. :-))

Paul, other options for Celeron L2 cache - What about "EX" chipset, will that support external L2 cache?

If not, I bet some Taiwanese chipset firm will beat Intel to the punch.

Paul,

re: "Of course, Intel can always add the L2 cache chips back in to the Slot 1 cartridge. Or Run the Celeron at 300 MHz (66.6 x 4.5). Or run the Front Side Bus at 100 MHz - with a 440BX. These are simple options for Celeron Speed ups.

Or you could flush it down the toilet. I bet it would travel pretty fast through the sewer system. Well, anyways, thats where it belongs.
