About 35Mb IMSMR. Win98 could be stripped to around 50Mb without a loss of functionality.

NB L3 is unified most of the time, but but with L2 you still need to distinguish between data/code.

L2 is unified on all CPUs I'm aware of. Only L1 is split between instructions and data.

Guess I got L1/L2 messed up with L3 (don't drink and comment, kids).

But I found out what Itanium 2 did had a split L2 cache.
