krash johal, Re: "So what this means is that the K7 and the Alpha CPU's will be interchangeable." Isn't the K7 going to be X86 compatible ?? ... Is the Alpha also X86 compatible ... I don't think so. So how are they interchangeable ... Is only the "backplane" the common element in a K7 and Alpha system ?? Make It So, Yousef

K, >>>Or perhaps you have been taken in by Pauleron's BS regarding AMD making inferior chips because they are CHEAPER.<<< Not at all and au contraire, wouldn't think of designing in AMD chips for ALL of those reasons I mentioned, but especially because of their long history of poor yields. Poor yields are the parents of poor reliability, or didn't you know? Tony
