Anyone notice the K7's backside L2 cache controller is on-chip, as opposed to the PII's which I believe is off chip? Anyone have any idea what kind of difference (if any) this might make?

Sergio, Watch those noname Taiwan fans with sleev bearings, they get even quieter when they sieze up after about 3-4 months continuous running (system always on). Get a ball bearing fan, not the kind used in a ball bearing mousetrap though.
