TT: Thanks for the news. You indeed have the fastest system to date. You should try to do some benchmark to get a feel of the improvement from 450MHz to 500Mhz. Here is the benchmark for the 450MHz PII. cyrellis.com Too bad not every man, woman, and child can afford a system like you. AMD will give them an opportunity next year. Maxwell

Time Traveller: I've just thought of an idea. If you do this you will have the fastest PII in the world. What you do is as followed: Option #1: 1) You have a PII-450. Go buy a CeleronA-333 for $200. 2) Desolder the CeleronA chip out of the slot 1 cartridge. 3) Desolder the PII-450 out of the slot 1 cartridge. 4) Solder the Celeron-A chip onto the PII-slot 1 with the 512K L2 SRAM 5) The slot SRAM now becomes L3 cache. 6) Mount this CPU onto the BX MB and use it at 112MHz with 4.5X. 7) You now have a 500MHz PII Dixon Jr. (Dixon suppose to have 256K integrated L2 and runs at 700MHz) Option #2: 1) Buy a cheap PII-266. Desolder the CPU. 2) Do #1 to #7 above. Afterward, I would like to see some benchmark. You will be proud. Maxwell
