dmf - Re: "Does AMD K7 with Slot 1 compatibility have anything to do with this?" Only indirectly. First, the K7 doesn't yet exist. AMD is working on this, the K6 3D, the K6+ and a K8. Their "target" for the K7 is to demonstrate the chip next year at Comdex or the Microprocessor Forum - essentially a year from now. Basically, they are stretched toooooooooooo thin. They mustered all their resources to design the K6 and now they are attempting 4 parallel projects? Good luck, folks! Also, AMD will use the MECHANICAL configuration for the Slot 1 - not the electrical - they will use some version of a DEC Alpha electrical interface - completely different from Intel's slot 1. The very idea of using the mechanical configuration reflects Jerry Sanders obsession with being an Intel wannabee. Intel wants the Slot 1 to replaces socket 7 because they alone hold the intellectual property rights (and TRADE SECRETS) for this configuration. That locks out Cyrix, AMD and IDT and all other copy cats. Paul
