Dan, MPR 10/25/99 mentions, among many other things, that an upcoming dual-EV6 bus chipset is being developed by Alpha Processor (API). It will support either dual-21264 or dual-Athlon processors in Slot B configuration. Each bus will run at 200 MHz. It also has a dual-channel 200 MHz DDR SDRAM memory subsystem. MPR also expects it to support AGP-4x and PCI-66/64 as well, but I doubt they're very sure about that. API expects to sample this chipset late this quarter. (That probably means a 2H 2000 release.) Get this: the single north bridge of this chipset will have a pin count above 1,000, roughly double the pin count of Intel's 840 north bridge. Mind you, that's not a trivial issue, but I guess if API/AMD feels it's OK, then who am I to argue? Tenchusatsu
