Re:"What about VIA - switching from a KT133 to a KT133A - where are YOUR TEARS AND OUTRAGE OF THAT ?"

Outrage at enabling ATA-100 rather than ATA-66?

Paul, your a funny guy.

>Was it the same company that forced vendors to use new Motherboards with a 760 chip set instead of a 750 chip set - instead of Socket A to a Slot A ?<

If this comment were coherent, maybe I could respond.

>What about VIA - switching from a KT133 to a KT133A - where are YOUR TEARS AND OUTRAGE OF THAT ?<

As far as I know, the KT133 is still available.

>Are you going to cry HOLY HELL when AMD's HAMSTER CHIPS don't fit into an ATHWIPER socket?<

I will if AMD discontinues production of Duron/Athlon as soon after they introduce Hammer as Intel will be Coppermine after the introduction of Tualatin. But, I don't expect this to happen. AMD introduced the Socket-7 K6-2+ and even ramped its speed grade well after Athlon was introduced. How many new Socket-7 processors did Intel introduce after the introduction of P-II?
