Paul, I ain't really laughing. For the latest nonsense in re the 370 Pin Socket taken from: news.com "The 370 chips will not be compatible with the venerable Pentium (or so-called Socket 7) chips, the design used by Advanced Micro Devices and some other manufacturers. The incompatibility will in all likelihood prompt detractors to claim that Intel is once again using its own proprietary architectures to lock out competition. Intel employed this design for earlier Pentium chips." Herb
