That guy obviously hasn't heard that MHz SELLS-(TM McMannis). He's too smart for his own good. FPU Sells (TM-McMannis) but only to gamers. Other than that all the AGP, bus speeds, volts and watts are for engineers... Jim

<Don't assume cuz k7's have a 200bus that they will be faster than intel, they're just overclocking their slot1 (100 on way in, 100 on way out, same way agp2x does it)> First of all, AGP-2X doesn't do it in the way he suggests. Instead, it runs a 66 MHz, but transfers data at 133 MHz in a "source-synchronous" fashion. Second, is the guy saying that the K7 bus is double-pumped, just like AGP-2X? Or is he saying that the K7 bus actually runs at 100 MHz, but uses simultaneous bidirectional signaling (i.e. electrical signals going both ways at the same time, like Rambus DRAM, unlike AGP-2X)? Anyone who knows the answers can jump in here. Tenchusatsu
