RE:"2 problems here Jim. First the Slot was also a great help in disappating heat. A problem still for the K63. Second, the Intel bus architecture is completely different from the Socket7 bus architecture and it won't change going from a slot to a socket. ".... Last I checked the K6-III was already using a socket so why would heat be a problem, moving from one socket to another? As for the bus architecture, I yield to you but it seems I saw a Cyrix M-II with socket 370 packaging so maybe the architecture could be adapted on the K6? One thing I did forget was that maybe on a socket 370 the K6-III couldn't access the L3 on the motherboard so maybe it would take a performance hit. Jim Jim
