EP, <K7 is stuck with very high, expensive pincount,>
Could you enlighten us exactly how high is the K7
pinout? Does it ever come to your analytical
mind that your assumptions may not be quite
true?

<expensive chipsets possibly with multiple versions,>
Of course, it is highly economical to build
single-CPU systems with a highly-redundant
SMP-capable (and therefore slower) "universal"
chipset, very true :[

<The Intel P6 bus has none of these problems.>
There were many other busses without problems
except one - they ran at 1-10MHz...

<The on die L2 greatly reduces processor pin
count, reducing packaging cost and equipment
cost and increasing performance.>
Wow, what a revelation! You must be in strategic
marketing, bud. You only forgot who has a
better technology to built dense caches for
smaller silicon footprint...

<Ali, you're just getting more and more confused
as time goes by.> Sure, what else can a screwdriver
do against highly acquainted individuals like
youself? - he-he-he:)
