McMannis - re: " As far as my information? I've treaded BBs for 8 years now. I have lots of friends in various places" Which of your Double Secret Inside AMD Agent friends got you to BUY INTO AMD at $30 - right before they plummeted into the teens? I think you better re-assess your so-called "friends", Jimbo ! Dey be puttin' de shine to ya ! Paul

<Don't you agree that by offering a K6-2+s that it would save AMD from having to throw K6-3s with bad L2 caches in the trash bin?> I don't see why AMD should be getting plenty of K6-3's with bad L2 caches. AMD is most likely pulling the same trick Intel did with Mendocino and adding a few redundant columns in the on-die L2 cache. If a defect or two pops up in the L2 cache, just disable those columns and use the rest. The simple layout makes this possible and viable. Tenchusatsu
