Well computers aren't going to come with ram for a 100 mhz buss when they have a 500mhz buss. That is true that the more l2cache memory you have the faster it runns because from what I've read from search.com, computers access there faster cache before they access there ram. My point is that all these things buss, harddrive speed, and your info on cache, contribute to the performance of a computer. it isn't just processor speed. -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
