I've got an AMD L2 cache machine that worked very well in some recent tests we all tried here in the forums. There was a P5 image that was created by Jim Burton (I believe) that we all loaded up and rendered. We timed how long it took to render and the AMD-L2s kicked butt. My computer is about a year old now and it's running smoothly and perfectly and I get really fast renders which I'm still not used to (On my old Pentium machine, I could get up and feed the dogs before it got done rendering but not any more with the AMD L2).
