Re: "The K7 will use slotA which is the same socket as Intel slot1 but not protocol compatible. K7 will use Alpha bus protocol. If you want to look at the K7 just look at the Alpha 21264. Here are the features that makes the Alpha fast "

Max, I hate to break the news to you but the Alpha doesn't run the x86 instruction set. Also the 21264, just like the K7 is unavailable.

The K7 will trail Intel's x86 processors at all stages of it's lifetime. I have the benchmarks to prove it.

Maxwell - Re: " If you need a powerful server that collect data on thousands of sensors while you run Windows and play games, the K7 is the server for you. "

I think you haven't a clue what a server is used for.

This poor understanding is probably a good explanation for your confusion on other technical matters as well.

Paul
