Re: "Hey, that sounds like Coppermine. Shouldn't be too hard to get one of these chips and clock it to 500 and get some Coppermine benchmarks, hey?"

I believe Coppermine will use the 6th metal layer. The .18u version of Dixon does not. It is an optical shrink of the .25u. There is no change in the layout, just shrunk. The available parts are designed for notebooks and will not fit in a desktop board. I suppose you could try overclocking your notebook.

No - it is essentially a Pentium II with 256K L2 cache and only 5 layers of metal - a DIXON SHRINK .

Coppermine has the SSE, 256K L2 cache but was relaid out to utilize 6 layers of metal.
