You've got me. I think it has to do with what somebody was saying earlier about how the bus isn't really a bus and everything can run at its own speed or something with the K7.

KZ"Nerd" <How can K7 utilize a 200 MHz bus with 133 or 100 MHz memories> It's simple: it does not fully utilize it's bus. However, having some "bus" headroom, it can FULLY UTILIZE OTHER BUSSES, memory included. With frequency-matched system-to-memory bus like in P-III, any bus overhead translates into less performance of memory bus. (You should also remember that the Slot-1 bus has a half-speed command phase). My advice: forget all these technicalities you have little idea about. Concentrate on stock market behaviour, consumer expectations, counter-striking Intel behavior. Or just stick to TA. Life is good.
