Remember that Intels 128k cache is in that precious .25u Intel silicon. That 512k they use on socket 7 mobos costs maybe <$5? I can buy 16 megs of RAM for $10. Remember that Intel chip set costs more than counter the cost of 512k of L2. Jim

Jeff, <AMD must discountK6-2 by the cost of the external cache to compete with Celeron...> Your power of deduction is truly amazing. If you would bother yourself to check prices, you could find out that the SS-7 boards run for $71-$75 at retail level, while the EX-boards for Celerons start from $89. Let me remind you that every SS-7 board come with at least 512k cache soldered, therefore at OEM level the cache is already accounted. Bye, lurker.
