They are just dreams where the processors don't have to wait and wait and wait... And quite unprobable to go this way. As a matter of fact, am I too wrong in thinking that the caches of the 486 were 30ns or something? Watch out for something big to replace their 486 for Pentiums and you may have a gold mine just next to you... Alas, there is nothing matching that description near me (Getting a motherboard for them is another story). > > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Michael L.
