Cringe - Re: ". As Intel transitions completely to sockets, the people who make slots products will still have the K7 for its products to be used with." Yep. Those vendors better hope AMD can sell about 10 to 15 million K7's per quarter to take up the slack ! AMD is going to look PRETTY STUPID coming out with a SLOT A while Intel's Celeron sales are accelerating in Socket 370 and the Coppermine will also appear in a Socket in September ! AMD = Intel - 2 1/2 years ! Paul

Re: "So, AMD looks pretty smart for not coming up with their own socket (initially) and sticking with Intel's slot, which has had Intel backing for two years, which has may products already designed, proven, and ready to go. As Intel transitions completely to sockets, the people who make slots products will still have the K7 for its products to be used with." Cirruslvr - I hope you realize the edge connector adapter that solders into the MB is the only thing Slot1 and SlotA have in common. I hope you didn't think any of the logical signals or electricals were the same. Frankly I don't know why AMD bothered to copy the Slot mechanicals. It doesn't buy them much. EP
