Re: "Then the processor-to-chipset connection doesn't need to run at 200 MHz at all. Run that bus at 133 MHz and the K7 will do just fine."

Other stuff interfaces directly to the chipset as well (PCI, AGP, etc.). This consumes some bandwidth I'd imagine, especially with 4x AGP, where the "extra" 66 Mhz could come in handy.

Plus, marketing a 200 MHz FSB is better than marketing a 133 or a 100 MHz FSB, even if technically the 200 MHz FSB is only between the CPU and chipset. <GG>
