Re: "AMD had two demo rooms. In the first room I could inspect the first Slot A motherboard with AMD's own chipset and K7 itself. The K7 was equipped with 512 kB of L2 cache, running at 1/3 of the CPU core speed, thus 500 MHz / 3 = 166 Mhz. There was of course a working K7-system in that room too" Very interesting... So the one described WASN'T A WORKING SYSTEM, but the second one was. He doesn't describe the second system!! Re: "I could not see any benchmark numbers, but the benchmark part ran faster than anything I've seen yet" OK, let me see if I got this straight. He didn't see any benchmark, but what he didn't see ran faster than anything he did see. Hey! that makes perfect sense!!! Just like an unseen K7 runs faster that anything that you can see!!! A true Jerry butt smoocher!! Perfect AMD logic. EP
