Steve, re: K6-3 with 512K L2/2M L3.
I'll try running that Monday, but I doubt that 2M L3 would make a big difference, having seen the small gain going from 0K to 1024K.

To simulate the effect of L3 cache, I increase the FSB frequency in the model by a percentage from 0% (no L3) to 20% (1M L3). This is probably overly conservative and may be responsible for the low sensitivity to L3 cache in the model.
