Kevin: <<If anyone at AMD is paying attention, you should take a cue from Intel and design a socket-based infrastructure for K7 now, so you don't get locked into slot A like Intel was locked into slot 1.>> Unlike Intel, AMD K7 architecture is open to anyone free of royalty. AMD welcomes chipset makers to design chipsets for K7. This is a good technique to get the whole industry adopting K7. Thus I don't think AMD is in trouble here. There is no need for socket for K7 in the low end. K6-2 and subsequently K6-3 are more than sufficient to keep supersocket K7 well into 1999. Supersocket 7 is superior to socket 370 because of its 100MHz bus. K7 is in a different market than K6-2/K6-3. Maxwell
