Paul , since independent tests rated the original (without L2) Celeron 266mhz as equivalent to the K6 200mhz in performance and adding 128K L2 cache resulted in Celeron A's increased performance then adding twice the amount of L2 cache (256K) to K6-2 should not only restore the performance gap mentioned above but increase that gap .
If you don't agree then I suggest you remove your Intel tinted glasses,
Brian
PS In other words if you try to improve an inferior design by adding half the L2 cache of your competitor then you still have an inferior design.
