<Don't assume cuz k7's have a 200bus that they will be faster than intel, they're just overclocking their slot1 (100 on way in, 100 on way out, same way agp2x does it)>

First of all, AGP-2X doesn't do it in the way he suggests. Instead, it runs a 66 MHz, but transfers data at 133 MHz in a "source-synchronous" fashion.

Second, is the guy saying that the K7 bus is double-pumped, just like AGP-2X? Or is he saying that the K7 bus actually runs at 100 MHz, but uses simultaneous bidirectional signaling (i.e. electrical signals going both ways at the same time, like Rambus DRAM, unlike AGP-2X)?

Anyone who knows the answers can jump in here.
