Re: "Hays added that there is no reason the Super7 bus for low-end PCs couldn't be ratcheted up to 133 MHz-other than the fact that AMD's engineers have been too busy working on the K7 and K6-III to coordinate a specification"

Actually I think this is too simplistic. Intel's engineers found out with AGP they needed to go to a source synchronous clock to achieve the 133MHz data rate. The Pentium style Socket7 bus interface doesn't have a SS clock not is it a point to point port like AGP and the K7 memory port.
