Steve, I really doubt the 512K cache rumor on Sharptooth also, UNLESS this is a special version with multiprocessor support for servers. My simulation for Business Winbench 98 (on Windows 98) results gave the following: Processor...L2 cache/type...L3 cache...Winbench K6-2-400....1024K external..none.........28.5 K6-3-400....256K internal....none.........32.9 K6-3-400....256K internal....1024K......33.4..(using mboard cache as L3) K6-3-400....512K internal....none.........33.6 You can see that going from no internal L2 cache to 256K boosts the Winstone result by a minimum of 4.4 (probably more when L3 cache is accounted for), while jumping all the way to 512K boosts in by 5.1, a marginal improvement.
