<Nice to see that you have flip-flopped again Ali> As usual, Ali is babbling again. I already posted an excerpt from PC Magazine's latest Home PC comparison, including Gateway's own Xeon model for the home: Message 6920852 In it, we can infer that the Pentium II Xeon 450 MHz with 512K of L2 cache contributes to a 7% increase in Winstone 99 over the regular Pentium II 450 MHz. And that's just the lowly, uniprocessor Business Winstone 99. We already know that the full-speed L2 cache on the Xeon is critical for multiprocessor systems and other applications which heavily exercise the processor bus. What is amazing is that even in Business Winstone 99, which features apps which don't require a Xeon at all, the full-speed L2 cache increases the score by 7%. It'll be amusing to see how Ali "babbles" his way out of this. Tenchusatsu

Elmer, <you have flip-flopped again Ali...Now you realize the large L2 on Xeon is a major advantage!!!> Are you an idiot incapable to trace two things or what? If you confuse size with speed, we have hothing to talk about. Actually, we never had, Elmer. Just remember, K7 is coming with up to 8MB of VERY AFFORDABLE L2 off-the-shelf cache. Xeon's cache is very expensive to make while the performance gain is next to nothing. And AMD is COOPERATING, not invading other businesses, as Intel likes to do. It is a dangerous business to go across the industry. No one likes it, and will fight back. No matter how much money Intel has, industry will resist Intel's strategy and favor AMD's. Now try to think (if you can) where advantages are.
