If you add the extra TAG SRAM are you adding extra cache?  Or are these 2 different
things?  If they are different, are you saying that 512K L2 cache can cache different
amounts of RAM based on how much TAG SRAM there is (ignoring the chipset limitation
for discussion purposes)?  How much RAM can 256K of L2 cache?  Is it the same type of
answer?
