Apparently, Intel was also going to give us the Pentium pro. I wouldn't
count the standard Pentium out quite yet. After all, it's what the computer
manufacturers want to buy and sell that we find at the local discount store.
And price is the number one deciding fact for most consumers. Perhaps in a
few years we'll see a change, but the newest motherboards for the socket 7
are supporting up to 5x the bus speed, and the math shows that to be 330mz
chip! Lets not count out overdrives when that barrier is hit. I'll buy
socket 7 until AMD or Cyrix are allowed to make slot 1 chips.
