Lemme look.. That wouldn't have anything to do with quad setups though.
PII can't to quad because Intel wants to make lotsa $$$ just like why TX
cant cache more then 64 but hx could but couldn't do UDMA.
okay here's how it is:
Pentium: Has 2way I/D caches
PMMX: Has 4way I/D caches
PPro: Has 4way I cache and 2way data cache.
PII/Xeon: Has 4way I/D caches.
