Brain, Nope.. sorry I'm not going to give this one to you that easily.. Would you say I car had a bad engine because it went slower than another car when I removed all the tires? Probably not.. You would say "what the (^(&^ did you take the tires off for". That's what happened with the P6.. You just can't compare them apples to apples.. and you never will be able to. Now I'm not saying the P6 arch. is great.. just saying that it is better than P5 (take a look at the arch. specs and you'll see). The key thing is that it was designed for high-speed L2.. not having high-speed L2 would be like taking the L1 out of socket 7. (no one in their right mind would do it). Steve Cyrix/NSM Rule!
