Ritz, One wonders what Intel will use as an absolute reference? Otherwise how will the chip know how fast it is going. Keep the busses in the correct ratio and you can go up until there is a failure mode, and then back off a bit. If the put a time base inside the slot box that will work until they go back to the socket. In theory they can put a small r/c network inside that will not be precise but will be good enough to do the job and as you get there it will pass a current and reset it. the only way to stop that approach is to start above it's notch instead of approaching from below. They will make it broad to stop this and possibly the high frequency approach would need such a high frequency that if would never run that high. All the mroe sales for AMD as there are easy ways to internally label the parts to blow the whistel on counterfeiters, and more fuel for the coming big lawsuit. Bill
