Does the RISC > CPU in the RS/6000 have a name (other than RS/6000)? I believe the answer you're looking for is the "SGR XX64 processor" Where "XX" is the speed of the model. For example, the 30MHz model 540 has an SGR 3064, while the 25 MHz 530 has an SGR 2564. The model 520 has an SGR 2032. This is a 20 MHz processor with a 64b internal memory-cache line, as opposed to the 128b cache lines of the XX64 processors. I don't know what SGR stands for. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Marc P.
