The *Slot 2* Pentium II processors - starting with the one to be available next month - I belive will have the same amount of Level 1 cache as the AMD... So the 450 Slot 2 P-II may well be faster than even the AMD pseudo-300, running Rebel, thanks to: 1. Same L1 cache 2. Much bigger L2 cache OPERATING AT FULL FREQUENCY OF CPU 3. 50% faster MHz. 4. maybe less efficiency elsewhere, but overall... I am no Intel "fan" (not even attached to CPU!)... but Ed please make sure you use the fastest machine. For chess and Rebel, I believe these new generation Intel CPUs will outstrip AMD... Anand will surely be in super-cool mode and you want to win some/lots of those fast games! Kind regards fca
