Word from my AMD rep is there is a new chipset coming after the AMD640.
Although I dont buy that series of parts from AMD I am on the list when
they have eval boards available. Saying that, AMD doesn't even have
AMD640 eval boards yet. AMD does plan to support OpenPIC. So does VIA
the chipset maker that licensed the VP2 chipset to AMD ( ie : the AMD640
).
