Quoth Tom Jackson on Fri, 26 September:
: Considering a new atx mb myself. Trying to decide between pent pro and
: pent II. Wondering if socket 8 is a deadend and if intel will upgrade
: this architexture ( think its much better than pent II)

Socket 8 is a dead end.  Slot 1 is also a dead end.  Socket 7, on the
otherhand, shows no sign of slowing down, with AMD's 300 MHz K6 being
the fastest chip announced for it so far.
