I was thinking of trying 300Mhz P2s at 100Mhz system bus using the hack described at www.sysdoc.pair.com. > Since the P2 has DIB (dual independent bus) for the L2 cache, higher clock > rates, and much faster DRAM access, you'll definitely notice the > difference.

And how is the DRAM access faster if both the P2 and PPro use a 66Mhz system bus? Thanks, Niall -- Niall Smart.
