Chung - RE: "Editorial : AMD's 2000 Roadmap - The Facts" Yikes! The situation is much worse than I thought. And not only is the Via KX133 chipset incompatible with Thunderbird, only OEMs will get the slotted versions. While this is good in that AMD is going to lower cost sockets faster, this is going to leave many current Athlon owners ticked off because they can't upgrade, unless a slocket card is made AND they are using motherboard based on the AMD 750 chipset. The sad thing is people were actually waiting for the Via KX133 chipset becasuse they thought it would be the better option later down the road. But those people are now left with a dead end platform... And again, AMD is left at Via's peril with the KZ133 chipset. I hope this thing works as planned. I'm surprised at how Anand paints the picture that Thunderbird will be so short lived. I guess it depends on how fast AMD wants the transition to Mustang to be. With so many potential chances for error this year, AMD's ability to execute will be put to the toughest test ever. I just wish it wasn't so dependent on Via.
