Can't find any info anywhere... just wondering if the new RevB 12" powerbooks have an L3 cache?? I know the RevA's do not have an L3 but can't find any info pertaining to the RevB's. Thanks.

Apple is no longer using L3 Cache in any of their latest computers. All the new Powerbooks 12-15-17" and the PowerMac G5 use 512k L2 Cache. It's much faster to use a larger L2 cache than L3.
