Scumbria & ALL: A while back we were talking about memory latency and everything, well here is Cyrix's answer to your question: cyrix.com Grab the file from Winhec 98.. it shows in brief: (you really have to read the whole thing to get these numbers) Method: Average Latency (at 400Mhz) (L1 32K, L2 256K on chip ) .368 core clocks (L1, L2 and Dram controller in .211 core clocks CPU??? help me out with the read on this one, no actual L1 mention) I'm a little thrown by the last one, which on page 14/17. I figured it out.. the second number is 256K L2 on chip and Dram Controller on chip (i.e. CPU does all Northbridge stuff) Steve

Scumbria, re:Your concerns about Compaq are baseless. Baseless you say? May I inform you, that CPQ earned 1 ct/shr last Q1, 2 cts/shr in Q2 and and told investors Q3 is a "transitional" Qtr. As you know "transitional" is a euphemism for "we don't know". Sorry, Scumbria, but you can't sweep an elephant under the rug. Will CPQ recover and prosper? Possibly, but only if they start executing better than they have. I would consider buying CPQ, but unfortunately they are way overpriced with respect to past performance. Dale
