Jim - Re: "some people think the Mendocino will out run a similar MHz Pentium on non-FPU intensive benchmarks. Others say no. Any ideas? " Mendocino - at 333 MHz/66 MHz - should outperform all Pentium devices - including FPU operations. Re: "AMD says the Pentium II or Mendocino doesn't gain much running the L2 at clockspeed. Does it?" Yes - Mendocino gains a LOT - compared to the original Celeron with 0 L2 cache! Re: "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? " It eliminates: one external SRAM device, one surface mount operation, one part to be purchased, received, tested and inventoried, etc. Paul
