Paul, Good to see you using The Register as a supporting evidence. A few problems with your statement: Two quarters late? Read the following - DDR/266 SDRAM were in AMD's plans 1 1/2 years ago. theregister.co.uk Posted 06/10/99 2:26am by Tony Smith in San Jose AMD unveils server-oriented Athlon 'Xeon' First is that 06/10/99 is actually October 6, 1999 based on the British convention for writing dates. The 266 MHz number is for FSB, not for DDR. The article never mentions DDR, so they must be talking about some possible plan in the past to have a SMP chipset for the Slot version of Athlon. Notice they are still talking about 8MB L2, which is obviously the limit the Slot version was capable of supporting. This whole plan was probably scrapped at the time of the writing of the article, or shortly after that (I am guessing here), and changed to the current 760 MP. The whole thing appears to be based on the presentations during the Microprocessor Forum, when the plans for x86-64 and LDT were released. Joe
