Shawn,

speaking of FSB of Athlon / Thunderbird / Mustang / Willy, I have not seen any indication whether Thunderbird will be 133 MHz x 2 capable or stay at 100 MHz x 2. Related to that, if any of the current chipsets (AMD 750, KX133, KZ133) are 133 MHz capable. At this time, the motherboards and chipsets may be the bottleneck.

Cirruslvr,

<I bet the same thing was said about the Athlon's 200MHz fsb one year ago.>

May be, I do not remember any such discussion. However, I did think that AMD may have had easier time with motherboards if they went with lower clock speeds.

Anyone who know a thing or two about interfaces know the difference between supporting high speed point-to-point connection (Athlon)versus high-speed bussed connections (PIII/Wilamette).
