kash, Re: Also his info on Xeons continuing with 100Mhz fsb make no sense unless this is just to support legacy customers It makes lot of sense and I believe support legacy customers is the most important reason. In general, the more critical the system is, the longer the validation process. This IMO explain why K6 sold pretty well in the consumer/retail space but almost none in corporate. K7 will face the same issue(and I believe they are just dreaming about having a stake in the Xeon market). Isn't Intel still making PII ? Why do you think they still make that ? Gary

<Will they not have a 512Kb version as well.> If they are, I sure haven't heard about it. As far as I know, it's 256K and 1MB this year. <Also his info on Xeons continuing with 100Mhz fsb make no sense unless this is just to support legacy customers.> We'll know soon enough. In a previous article, Tom said that the Carmel chipset, the one that will replace (I think) 450NX in server chipsets, will support 133 MHz in dual-processor configuration and 100 MHz in quad-processor configuration. I don't know if this is true or not. Seems that the roadmap keeps changing even as we speak. Tenchusatsu
