Scumby - Re: " When Intel came up with slot 1, the main idea was to create a proprietary bus which would force AMD out of the x86 business. "

You are really smoking dope today !

AMD thought so highly of the Slot 1 concept that they copied the basic ideas and incorporated the EV6/Alpha bus into AMD's PROPRIETARY Slot A CPU interface.

So not only are you completely wrong about the technological advantages of Intel's Slot 1 concept, you are completely wrong as to its commercial value.

Why aren't WHINING AWAY about the K7 and the fact that current AMD owners will be "locked out" of an upgrade path ?
