EP, re:<What would stop Intel from expanding their bus to 128 bits?> I agree that Intel might do this. It would be typical of them to change the Slot architecture every year or so, just so customers have to buy new computers. AMD, OTOH, only goes to a new slot architecture when necessary by performance. The fact that AMD Super7 CPU's perform equal to Pentium II CPU's at the same clock speed is proof that Slot 1 was unnecessary. In fact, I've read that a Cyrix M2 at 2.5 x 100 MHz (250 MHz core) performs better than a Pentium II 350 on Winbench 98. Slot 1 architecture only needed for server multiprocessing. When K6-3 with on-chip L2 is out (3-5 months), even 100 MHz bus will be a frill, let alone Slot 1. Petz
