Elmer, I see the logic in defence of patents, lest they be termed public domain.
The athlon is certainly a capable CPU, whether or not AMD can dance around the patent with a chipset that does not infringe is to be determined. I thought that the Alpha bus had superior alternate ways of doing the same tasks and all that is needed is a chip set that conforms.
I will read more about the P6 bus and see what I can understand about it.
