I was quite surprised when I read about this... Well, sounds nice to me. BTW, heard interesting things about AMD's K6. Currently I dislike Intels marketing strategy how they push the Klamath, which is performing bad compared to the PPro ... And Intels new Level one slot for "mainly" Intel CPU's ... I think you read already yourself about it ... Do you think, that AMD's soon coming K6 would be a good choice, since it allows insertion into a ZIF 7 socket... What do you think, will FreeBSD / gcc support the new CPU without problems ? Any clues ? Should I wait for the K6 or buy a PPro based board now ? Heard a rumour, that AMD is going to make a chipset of their own, that will allow bus speeds up to 100MHz. Cc'd to chat, maybe some other folks have more infos upon this ;-) Wish you a nice sunday !
