Scot, Right now the Athlon and P-III are virtual commodities since you cannot tell what part is in an operating machine unless you view the bootscreen or run a probe from a site that interrogates your system to ask it to say what is the CPU is?
Just like gas there is no way of telling unless you look at the signage. In fact a slight recompile on the BIOS and that can be kept secret too.
So we are there now. True the sockets differ....so do car engines.
