Samples are out? So perhaps Triton-II volume is just ramping up? ...
Getting info out of intel is like getting blood out of the Tax Office.

Theoretically, yes. 
An ATX m/b will not fit in a non-ATX case. A 3.3V PSU is also required.
One (the?) specific design feature of ATX was that the P6 sits in front
of the PSU fan and .'. has no fan of its own. - So what about dual P6?

I'm sure I saw "Baby-AT" written on the Asus P6 m/b specs.

So did I. Maybe licensed, hopefully not another implementation.

I'm wondering if it's just 1x 64-bit 33Mhz PCI slot, targetted at 
a future high-end Video card from Radius etc? Don't think the Orion
chipsets supported 64-bit PCI though.

Native DSP a la P55c, due soon. Not very exciting.
