Kash - RE: "I also think AMD is making a huge marketing blunder by no publicly supporting PC 133 and pushing it against Celerys lower bus speeds." According to a Via representative - "Taiwanese chipset vendor Via Technologies Inc. has announced that it will develop and ship "value-oriented" single-processor chipsets for Advanced Micro Devices Inc.'s K7 MPU. But AMD will have to develop its own multiprocessor versions, said Dean Hays, director of marketing for Via's U.S. operations, in Fremont, Calif. Hays added that there is no reason the Super7 bus for low-end PCs couldn't be ratcheted up to 133 MHz-other than the fact that AMD's engineers have been too busy working on the K7 and K6-III to coordinate a specification." techweb.com Maybe AMD will be able to get around to in time for the Celeron's bus speed jump.
