Yougang - Re: "and it also needs a fast enough part, which is where the 400 MHz K6-2 comes in. " Too bad the systems won't see much of a performance increase - the L2 cache access for a 400 MHz K6-2 is the SAME as for a 300 MHz K6-2 - it is STUCK AT 100 MHZ. AMD is realizing why Intel's Slot 1 (400 MHz Pentium II has a 200 MHz L2 cache access), Slot 2 (400 MHs Xeon has 400 MHz L2 cache access) and Mendocino (333 MHz Celeroan has 333 MHz L2 cache access) solutions are the right ones - and why sticking with Socket 7 is a real hindrance, especially since Sharpy chip is delayed.
