Interesting tidbits from Tweakit.com

"According to the AMD rep, the first testing of the K7 was done on a Digital motherboard designed for the Alpha processor without modification. This is just speculation, but there is a possibility of motherboards supporting both the DEC Alpha and K7 in the future."

"The K7 will include 3D-Now and AMD says they have the licensing for KNI if they need to include it."

Elmer,

Re: "Brian you are really on a roll! ... and now the PII has onboard L3!!"

You'll have to excuse Brian ... He is still not sure which end of the
"soldering iron" to pick up. <ggg>

Make It So,

Elmer , re. L3 Cache
thanks to you and Ten for pointing out that PII does not have L3 cache.
I just assumed that like the K6-2 super 7 there was on the mboard
cache . That changes my opinion of K6-2 vs PII and makes PII PCs even less appealing .I would go so far as to say that the PII like the Celery is deficient .
Go AMD !!!
Brian
PS Dont misquote me , I never stated anything about K6-3 and K7 volumes . That is buffoonery at its worst .<vbg>
