SubjectRe: question about M2 "feature"
I saw it in "Windows Sources" August 1997 issue.  Page 108 third column.

here's the quote:
[snip]
An intersting feature available on the 6x86MX, which has yet to be
implemented in software is Scratchpad RAM. This tiny 8K block of cache on
the chip stores small pieces of code locally, rather than in the L2 cache.
Cyrix promises that this will allow a serious performance boost to any
instructions an application might post there.

end quote.

I've been a little busy here, and haven't been able to get to Cyrix's web
site to look at their stuff, but it seems that this would be a Good Thing
(tm) to use...
