Many are approving Slot One to 370 convertors in a frantic attempt to keep ahead of the game. © " I think Intel is pushing hard to move to socket PIIIs ASAP in an effort to lower costs faster and to be able to be more agressive in pricing.

A product with cost and performance disadvantage is a marketing nightmare.
