Third Level Cache Size Comparison For AMD K6-3
A few months ago there was quite a lot of blabla about the influence of the on-board L3-cache in K6-3 systems on the web. Those are the results:

It seems as if it makes sense to go up to 1 MB of L2-cache, 2 MB seem hardly worth it anymore. The P5A with only 512 kB onboard-cache scores actually even better than the PA-2013 with 2 MB onboard-cache. All in all I wouldn't worry about the L3-cache issue too much at all.
