Re: "But I read here in the last two days that Intel move to Slot 1 because they cannot clock to that speed [300 MHz]." Nobody is claiming that Intel can't take their process faster than 266 MHz in the absence of slot 1. For example, the PII Overdrive chip (not slot one) goees to 333 MHz on .25u (right about where AMD is right now, interestingly enough. So that's why I say that slot 1 will get you about 1 speed grade, maybe a little more. The point is that when you take this into account, Intel's process technology isn't quite as hot as certain people would lead you to believe. It's still pretty good, though, and may be slightly better than AMD's. But we won't KNOW until K7 is out and we can make a decent comparison. Kevin
