Anyone have an educated guess on how much faster KX133 based Athlon boards will be than current boards? Pravin.

Chuckles - Re: "OK, can you make a case why the Microchannel analogy applies to AMD?" Let's see - Case 1 - The ATHWIPE is SOLE SOURCED ! Case 2 - The ATHWIPE is not LICENSED to any other CPU manufacturers. Case 3 - AMD is RIPPING OFF CUSTOMERS - they should be charging no more than $115 for the ATHWipe - they are SCREWING all the 15 year gamers with Cheerleader AMD Web Sites. Case 4 - The ATHWipe has a PROPRIETARY SLOT - that is NOT LICENSEWD to anybody, requiring every AMD K6 customer to TOSS OUT HIS ENTIRE K6x INVESTMENT - since there is NO UPGRADE PATH ! This SCREWS loyal, stupid AMD customers. (But because they are STUPID, they don't realize they are being SCREWED !) Paul
