Ah, right.  It's a win if the code is in the cache.

Hey, now, you're talking about one of the Treacherous Eight.

Right, that is what I was alluding to.  However ... how many motherboard
designers are competent?  I've seen a fair amount of crosstalk on
name-brand motherboards (ASUS) ... placing a probe on one of the address
lines, then strobing an adjacent line, and watching neat induced waveforms
(yes, the probe and scope were properly grounded).

Don't know enough here to comment, that's why I asked.

Hope so.

Yep.  Which I wish that I had (things analog/RF have always been slightly
to the right of black magic to me).
