On a semi-related note, PPro's meant for normal consumption had only
256K L2 cache.  PPro's meant to go in servers could have 512K or 1MB.
These PPro's were *much* more expensive.  I think the 1MB'ers were
going for a couple of thousand dollars at one point... *just* the CPU.

I know for a fact that a particular company I worked for (who shall
remain nameless) wanted those larger-cache PPros very much.  They
were not satisfied with 256K.
