Well you answered my question. It has nothing to do with the K7, but everything to do with the external device speed!!!. A high powered regulator can't speed up the return time of an external device. And if it could, everyone else (INTEL) would do the same thing.

Re: <Running a system bus at 200 MHz apparently is very difficult. You can push the address valid times out easily enough, but the trick is returning valid data every 5ns on an external bus.>

Don't they just have two sets of 100 MHz sdram hanging on the chip set which muxes it down to one set at 200 MHz into the K7? Takes a lot of pins on the chip set but I believe that the K7 has a 64 byte line size that it wants to burst in quickly.
