Dino <gte949e@prism.gatech.edu> is alleged to have stated:
-> Well yeah, I know that...  I've got a FIC-2013 but it's not gonna take
-> anything faster than a 500Mhz K6 because you can't get any faster than
-> that without getting one of those Kryotech-cool-K6 things.  Even the
-> kryotech isn't gonna support up to 700Mhz for a K6 chip.  For the
-> original poster, I think is somewhat misleading to say that the
-> motherboard supports up to 700Mhz.  Kinda like a marketing scheme to get
-> someone to buy it then realize, oh! there's no 700Mhz chip available!

I disagree - for the knowledgeable person, it lets them know this is a
motherboard with some future.  Last year there was nothing available for
a socket 7 that ran at 500 MHz, now there is.  Last year there wasn't
any CPU (well, maybe some overclocked DEC Alphas or something) that ran
at 700 MHz, now there are allegedly more than one.  The availability of
a suitable CPU was not said, in fact he is selling it with a 300 MHz
CPU.

-> I'm sure it can go faster than that too BTW, the FIC-503+ and the
-> FIC-2013 have busses that can go past 112Mhz (I think 124Mhz is the
-> max).   So the fastest you could go would be 124*7... ~875Mhz.  We don't
-> even have 850Mhz Athlons yet...  

So?
