Re: "Isn't INTC moving to a 200Mhz bus?" No. According to reports it will be a 400MHz bus. Re: "Isn't Willamette using a new chipset?" Yup. Re: "Is Willamette compatible with slot 1 or is that out the window?" A new slot or socket will be used for Willamette, that is according to reports. EP

milo - <Isn't INTC moving to a 200Mhz bus? Isn't Willamette using a new chipset? Is Willamette compatible with slot 1 or is that out the window?> From what I understand, including a CMP article posted earlier this week: Bus = either 200 or 400, depending on the "pumping scheme" (double or quad). 2 chipsets. One for desktop, Tehama, and for high end workstations and servers, Colusa. The latter is technically coupled with Foster. Also, there will be some nifty SMP thing from ServerWorks I understand. Willamette will be a socket design. PB
