The advanced transfer cache is the result of a new 256-bit wide "backside bus". This new bus, four times wider than the previous bus, is called a quad-wide cache line. The quad-wide cache line can transfer four 64-bit cache line segments at one time to deliver full-speed capability. The Netfinity 5100 provides an excellent blend of affordable performance for today and potential for future growth as networking needs expand. </P>
