Profits you were off by 3 quarters, not 1, and VIA has yet to show a AGP chipset that works in 2x mode. Seeing as 2x mode has a bug, what else doesn't work in 2x mode? How would you know if the first bug is blocking others? You may only fix the first in order to see the second, third and so on. AMD will be there in Q298? Based on what? Their track record? An AGP chipset is the most complicated to date. What has AMD ever shipped? What kind of validation suite do they have? As for socket7 offering the same level of performance as the slot1/AGP solution, we'll just have to wait until someone gets a socket7 chipset working won't we <ggg>. I don't think socket7 will be close. Time will tell. EP
