The AMD-640 chipset does NOT support OpenPIC. However after speaking with
my AMD rep, we can expect another chipset 3rd quarter that WILL support
OpenPIC and 4+ processors. Also expect the K6 chip to be available in
quantity Mid April which is AMD's reasoning behind putting out their own
chipsets.
VIA was working on an OpenPIC chipset also and in fact worked with AMD on
the AMD-640 chipset. Don't expect Intel to support OpenPIC :-) But most
of Intels competition WILL support OpenPIC as Intel's Chips will run under
OpenPIC the reverse just isn't true.
I remain ever hopefull...
