RE:"Equipped with three levels of caches, K6-3 would outperform PII in big way that it would make SLOT 1 obsolete immediately." Fuchi, You are exactly right. CPU's with an onboard L2 make the principle advantage of slot 1 disappear. Intel demonstrated this with the Celeron debacle. Slot 1 adds nothing but additional expense to a single processor system. Will Cyrix and Intel figure this out, or will they allow AMD and IDT to take control of the mid-high end desktop CPU business? Scumbria
