Kevin, <This is all meaningless.> How about this: news.com "Although the 100-MHz system bus is yet to be released, it will likely have a short life, industry pundit Michael Slater said at Microsoft's WinHec Conference." "Slater, a keynote speaker at the conference and the founder of MicroDesign Resources, said that by 1999 Intel will likely move to a 200-MHz system bus for its high-end chips with Katmai, the next generation of Intel processors." ------ comments: I am not sure all PC-makers will cheer this rate of "innovation" from chip leader... First, all 100MHz efforts are in the trash, no ROI; Second, 200-MHz layout would be painfully hard to manufacture and support. Most likely, many components will need new impedance-matching re-design. Third, it looks like a confirmation that the 100Mhz does not help the P-II "marketecture", so they need something faster to show some system speed-up. Forth, they are hanging up a new carrot for customers, who most likely will adjourn their upgrades decisions... Ali
