Ten - Re: "Jerry said that the K6-2 has the 100 MHz bus and Celeron
doesn't! Nasty thing, that 66 MHz Celeron bus.'

And Jerry never told a lie !

Or was it "Jerry never told the truth "?

He didn't bother to inform the DIP STICK ANALYSTS that the 66 MHz FSB on a Celeron didn't effect the L2 cache speed - that the cache ran at full CPU speed, whether it be 333,366 400, 433 or 466 MHz !

And that the 100 MHz K6-2 was stuck with a FIXED 100 MHz L2 cache no matter WHAT SPEED THE K6-2 ran at - 300 MHz ,350 MHz,400 MHz, etc.

Maybe the "lie" was in the omission.
