Kash - Re: " Article below talks about Pentium II s with integrated L2 cache for mobile apps are these Dixon, abd do these run at 66Mhz bus or 100Mhz: "

These indeed are DIXON chips.

Intel has worked diligently to get high yields on the 366 MHz Dixon while running at only 1.6 volts. That will keep the power low.

As for the bus speed - 66 or 100 - that may depend on the notebook manufacturer. Intel should provide the ability to do both speeds. The 440BX and 440EX chips are essentially identical - internally.

The performance vs. Power Dissipation/Battery life will be the tradeoff - with PC66 or PC100 memory modules.
