Steve - Re: "If Intel moves completely proprietary.."

Intel isn't completely proprietary by any stretch of your's or AMD's or Cyrix's imagination.

Intel has developed new and unique electrical/mechanical interfaces to to connect their x86 INDUSTRY STANDARD COMPATIBLE processors to a motherboard.

The Motherboard itself is COMPETELY COMPATIBLE - accepting ALL PCI cards, USB plug ins, ISA CARDS, serial/parallel I/O devices, and AGP cards.

Tens of thousands of industry standard peripherals plug into these motherboards.

Hundreds of thousands of INDUSTRY STANDARD SOFTWARE PACKAGES run on these Intel-based boards.

INTEL IS COMPATIBLE. WAKE UP!

The fact that you can't plug a Clones-'R-Us CPU into the INTEL CPU socket is a don't care for everybody in the world - except the Clones'R-Whining crowd.
