re : "1)  I believe that the Acorn 610 has a 4k on chip cache."


A HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAA!!!!!

Yeah right!

Sure!

It has only 32000 transistors yet can magically support 4096 bytes of
cache RAM in the 32000 transistors... hmmm lets see... lets pretend that
each bit of cache was magically stored in exactly 1 transistor each
without requiring the other 6 transistors I mentioned earlier....

That gives us an overhead of 32768 bits (transistors) with no gates left
for logic!!!!!

Now you see my fury over the "Acorn 610" fools who keep this stuff rolling!!!

SOMEONE OUT THERE IS A LIAR!!!! I assume the liar is Acorn, and that the
chip has 500,000 transistors and not the 32000 transistors claimed.

ARRRRGGGG!!!!!
