Maxwell - Re: ' Taiwan is currently producing 47% socket 7 MB vs 53% slot 1 MB." That's right ! And a year ago Taiwan was producing 2% Slot 1 boards ! ANd this quarter, Taiwan will be producing much more Slot 1 boards - probably 65% ! The numbers are clear - Taiwan's Slot 1 board production is TRACKING INTEL'S CONVERSION to SLot 1 - and it will CONTINUE TO RISE ! Re: "Because Intel is abandoning slot1 on Celeron and go for the socket 370." The Slot is gone, but it is the identical electrical interface. Intel's HUGE SUCCESS with Mendocino and on-chip L2 cache has eliminated the need for a cartridge approach. Too bad AMD hasn't had the same success with the delayed Sharpy chip ! Why isn't the K7 going to be a Socket 7 interface? What ? AMD is abandoning their socket 7 upgrades? Loyal customers can't plug a K7 into their K6 sockets? Boo-Hoo ! Paul
