<K6 has a weak L1 cache when comparing to M2. However, this weakness could be easily patched with the 2MB L2 cache under 100Mhz bus speed. I should expect that K6-400Mhz on such a board will kick PII-400 hard. These poor PII users won't have the fun of 2MB L2 cache for a while.>

Incestor A - I would expect that a 400mhz K6 would be a real screamer also. Trouble is that by the time a K6-400 is out, it will still be comparable to an Intel 4th or 5th string offering.

Your Pal,

PS, how's your sister?

Fuchi, re:These poor PII users won't have the fun of 2MB L2 cache for a while.

You can say that again, and I think I read that the P2 with 2Meg cache will cost $2,000, or was it $4,000. (does it really matter?)

You mentioned that K6 has a weak (although large) L1 cache. This may be fixed in the K63D, we'll see.
