Paul, Re: AMD is going to look PRETTY STUPID - introducing an EXPENSIVE Slot A K7

I don't think AMD is stupid. I believe they use this slot approach
for the same reason Intel did in PII, mainly because of the
relatively high speed L2 cache which the motherboard/chipset
vendor may not be able to handle properly. What I don't understand
is that why don't they just put on-CHIP L2 in K7 right from
the beginning ? They are doing it in K6-III, aren't they ?
