Petz, Oh well, throw out your motherboards again! Stockman will store it next to his Pentium Pro motherboard. ;-) Joe

Petz, <S, the death of Socket 7 is highly exaggerated, with L2 cache internal to the processor chip, the raison de etre for Slot 1 is eliminated.> The backside L2 bus was only 1 feature of the P6 generation of bus interfaces. The split transaction archeticture is every bit as important as well as the GTL+ signal termination. <He also says that Deschutes (the 0.25 process Pentium II) will only be available in SLOT2. Only the original 0.35 um Pentium II will be available in SLOT 1.> Intel has stated publicly that slot1 and slot2 will coexist. They have made it clear that slot1 is for desktop and slot2 is for servers and highend workstations. Anand is simply wrong on this like you have been for months. EP

Petz, Here's a quote from the Intel link below "the Deschutes processor will be offered in both slot 1 and slot 2 configurations, with slot 2 being targeted to high performance, scalable workstations and servers." intel.com Perhaps you will now stop spreading this nonsense. EP

Petz - Re: "He also says that Deschutes (the 0.25 process Pentium II) will only be available in SLOT2. Only the original 0.35 um Pentium II will be available in SLOT 1." He's wrong. Don't confuse opinions with facts. Check out this description from Intel: intel.com "One of the things we've done in Intel to deal with the electrical problems is this thing called source synchronous signaling. The bottom line on slot 2 is (unlike some of the speculation that you've perhaps seen in some of the press,) slot 1 and slot 2 are not successors. They're complementary things. They represent the bifurcation of the Pentium Pro processor to meet two different market segments that we see as complementary. So they're both going to exist at the same time."
