re:According to Intel (I believe) there are certain 'things' that are not patented and kept within the company as 'top secrets' and that nobody (as far as i know)can duplicate this. Actually, the trade secrets can be duplicated by reverse engineering if Cyrix wants to do this, although the complexity and time to completion is unknown. If Cyrix does adapt Slot 1, then this would definitely be a blow to AMD since they would be on their own. I would expect all the clones to agree on one standard, but this may not happen. This represents an interesting problem to any game theorists out there!! joey
