    > the 8377 is generally spoken nicer

    I wasn't referring to the MPC8377E per se but to the part where the posting says:

    "The e300c4 that is built in the MPC8377E (and MPC5121e) has twice the cache size of the 603e and is 2-way superscalar which the 603e (as well as e300 versions before e300c4) is not."

    These two improvements are also true for the MPC5125 as it has the same core version as the MPC5121e.

    Thanks for the pointer. So far I overlooked the presence of audio (even AC'97 in this case) on the TWR-MPC5125. I just had a closer look at the schematics* and found that the WM9715 is attached to the MPC5125's I²S interface**.
