Re: "Wrong. PIII is faster than the PII. (The article is correct, it's you who are wrong)." I think anyone who's been on this thread long enough knows that when we say X chip is faster than Y chip, we mean clock for clock. The only case you can make for PII being faster than PII is that PIII is available at 500 MHz, if you are agreeing that the article is correct. Kevin

re : PIII is SLOWER than PII : dumbmoney "Wrong. PIII is faster than the PII. (The article is correct, it's you who are wrong)." kevin is not the queen, you know:) Kevin and Spurway are 1 and the same, yust to inform you ;) PIII cache is 4ns, but around 30 mb/sec slower in troughput compared to pIII333 > 500 MHz... All this is already mentioned in the bxboards article... Intel reduced the cache troughput to guarentee stability at 500 MHz.. still remains fact that a pII333 at 500 , and a CeleronA500 are indeed faster than a pIII500...without KNI support that is... But albeit the KNI support pIII is just a no-go until the speed is really higher than pII or celeronA can get ....let's say 650 MHz.. Reports that pIII would be running in "the lab" at .25 uM at 650 mhz I consider rubbish, or at least a little inaccurate, just taking in mind that a 500 mhz pIII overclocked at 574 already gets boiling hot.... so 650 is reachable, no doubt, but not with conventional cooling.. my 0,02 $ FHWL, Michael da Kota
