Ali; I agree with you, I had read about the Alpha bus solution in general terms. It is one of the end runs around the slot 1 that might become the standard that all the others make to. I can see what Paul refers to by analogy to circuit board fabrication:, if you make it too tight and you get bad etches/dendritic prongs etc you can get 75% of your boards need to be fixed after test. In a similar manner I suspect that if AMD tries to do the same they also will have problems(different ones of course, but analogous to the shorts and alignment problems of PC Boards), So I can see a slight loosening to ease spacing requirements, giving a bigger die, with less failures and the need to test run it as well, this will give a greater % passing chips. I do not know what other problems it will produce. Bill
