Re: "Intel moved away from slot 1 for the reasons that Tom cited" Scumbria your nose is growing again. Tom and virtually every other Intel hater at the time claimed Intel introduced the P6 generation transaction based bus protocol simply to lock out AMD. Only recently has it become apparant how superior the P6 bus is. Witness the seamless multiprocessor based systems which have totally taken over the price performance leadership of the server market. The simplicity of Intel's 440 series of chipsets which allow me to type this on my dual processor Celeron system. All Intel processors from Celeron to 2MB L2 Xeons use exactly the same bus interface. None of this would ever have been possible if Intel hadn't made the bold move to get off the old socket7 and open up the future for endless possibilities. Tom was too stupid at the time to see how advanced the bus really was. To this day, AMD still can't even field a 2 way SMP system with their way over hyped and much troubled EV6 CPU-Memory interface. Tom blew it condeming Intel's move and you should know better. EP
