Re: by and large the K7 worked well with existing components You are confusing K7 with K6. K7 used Alpha's DDR FSB - there were no "existing components" that supported such an X86 chip. K7 worked with nothing that existed prior to its launch. Initially, only a single chipset supported it, the AMD 750. Very few AMD 750s were available, because AMD was leaving the field open for VIA, etc., who then failed to provide support. It's very, very, different this time around.
