Pros: A tad faster then most socket-7 boards
Cons: Never runs right, so the speed is not noticed at all

If you are in the market for a high-performance board, with the large L2 Cache, Stay away from this one. Get the 1mb Cache or get another board altogether. My first board I ordered of this type was broken. I had to lower the FSB to 90mhz OR install a fan on the L2 chips. I sent this board back, to receive a new one. Once I received the new one, I had no problem getting this board to work without a fan at 100mhz. But I've had numerous problems with it. I'll have to reboot due to fatal exceptions, and I can't let the ambient room temperature get above 83 degrees or the computer locks. I'm reinstalling windows on it almost every other month, and it doesn't perform as well as the 1mb Pa-2013.
Defiantly a purchase I would take back for the 1mb L2 board.
