...or not. The screen is filled with randomly-flying textured junk which obscures most of the scene completely. :(

Oh, by "not supported" I meant not supported by many of the popular mainboards. That's mainly because AMD doesn't want you to. MOESI is absent in the original Duron and Thunderbird Athlon, unconfirmed in "Morgan" Duron and officially there in Athlon MP and the identical silicon XP.

Smaller L2 caches do not have as much of an impact on SMP performance as they do on Intel platforms, since the CPUs do not share a single bus. So you just get the normal performance delta you'd expect from not having as much cache, not worsened by any congestion side effects like on Intel platforms.


Now your talkin!! :D
