The larger 512K L2 cache Tualatins are for laptops only. The desktop versions will only have the normal 256K. Hopefully, Intel will change their minds and release a desktop version with the larger cache.
As far as overclocking. The Tualatin .13 coppers should be the next 300a. Some people think it will hit 1700mhz. Going to be very interesting.
false. desktop WILL get 512kb:
Servers and workstations:
Tualatin 512KB DP - 1,13 GHz model to be release by the end of June. 1.26GHz version shipment start in the beginning of July.
Intel Pentium III Xeon DP (different models for ServerWorks HE-SL, ServerWorks LE-3 chipsets with 1.10 - 1.15V core voltage, .13 micron, 512MB cache, 133MHz FSB) will appear in Q4'01;
