-> Athlons require a slota mobo

This is true - this motherboard (the FIC for sale) will not support an
Athlon.  Nobody ever said it would.  My contention is that within two
years there will be 700 MHz socket 7 compatible processors available
for sale, without overclocking.  If this prediction comes true, at
that time you could just buy one of them and pop them into this
motherboard (the one advertised for sale).  In my mind, that's worth
something, more than one that only has the potential to support a 500
MHz processor (I think the fastest K6 available right now is in that
range, are they up to 550 yet?).
