The proprietary direction from the most part is the "chip" packaging. The Pentium II's and later will plug into a slot (Like an ISA slot) instead of a socket. They're eliminating (perhaps) the problems with people breaking pins off of a chip. Basically it means everyone will HAVE to buy a new motherboard to support the new chips. I doubt this would cause any problems with the chipmakers. <G> Jaime Bozza Nucleus Communications, Inc.
