Ali, a question: Why do you folks always try to insult each other?

Re: "Elmer, I am not interested in your 2-grade math. Cache engineering usually requires at least a PhD, with 20-something more years of active learning." Well I have neither but you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. 1/6 bandwidth is 1/6 bandwidth. Latency doesn't improve for the K7 so what's your point. Re: "May I remind you that the Rambus is 16-bit-wide only? Ever heard of double-data-rate circuitry for example? And you seem to have problems with understanding of latencies..." Yes Rambus is 16 bits wide but runs at 800mhz. As for latencies, I didn't mention them so how do you figure I have a problem? I would venture a guess that latency is better for the onboard L2 systems so why do you raise the issue? EP

Ail - Re: " Cache engineering usually requires at least a PhD, with 20-something more years of active learning. " So why do you think a boxmaker with a screwdriver is qualified to be a cache engineer ? Elmer makes sound technical arguments. You just spit out a continuous stream of bile, drivel and slash-and-burn baloney. I guess you have a lot of time on your hands since you refuse to sell Intel-based computers ! Your customers have gone elsewhere! Paul
