Paul, I was under the impression that the 100 FSB didn't help the Pentium II more than a percentage or two over the 66 MHz bus. Won't the Mendocino run on a > 66 MHz bus setting if need be? Seems the Celeron does. Of course if you are talking a socket 470 model the bus settings might be restricted depending on the chipset. I'm anxious to see some benchmarks on the Mendocino vs the Pentium II...some people think the Mendocino will out run a similar MHz Pentium on non-FPU intensive benchmarks. Others say no. Any ideas? AMD says the Pentium II or Mendocino doesn't gain much running the L2 at clockspeed. Does it? Also, how much if at all, does having the L2 in the CPU die facilitate the efficiency of the chip vs having it soldered on? Thanks, Jim
