<L3 cache improves performance up to 9.5% in Winstone 98> Interesting. I'm wondering why Intel doesn't put any L3 cache on the Pentium II motherboards. I'm sure "The Powers That Be" here at Intel have their reasons. If not, perhaps some of the third-party chipset makers like Via who are now allowed to sell P6 chipsets will try adding L3 cache on the motherboard and beat Intel at its own chipset game. (Yeah, I'm a chipset guy, but I work on server chipsets, where L3 cache on the motherboard just isn't feasible for the huge amounts of RAM our chipsets support.) Tenchusatsu
