hiya,
yep, that's impressive. makes my p2 266, lx board, mill g200 look pretty sluggish anymore 8¬\
but the question i'm here to ask is how is amd allowed to use a slot 1 processor? i thot intel had the patent on the slot 1 architecture, disallowing any other maker from selling either boards or processors that use it.
p2 266@300 (4x75mhz) | qdi legend-v, lx chipset, bios 2.0sl | 96 mb pc100 | mill g200agp@99mhz 8mb sg, bios 2.6, pd 5.52 | win 98se

Yeah, the Athlon uses Slot A, which as was stated above is the same physical design as Slot 1, but entirely electrically differant. Try and plug a Pentium into a Slot A and you'll get to watch it smoke (and probably the mobo too)
Anyway, I've been hearing that AMD is planning on making a Athlon socket design also for lower form factor and those that like the socket mobo design.. not SS7 compatible for obvious reasons.

You can just barely see the tip end of it behind the CPU in front of that first PCI slot.

The following is a board by Biostar but they are very simular in design.

I think the G400 will be able handle itself on the Athlon CPU OK. Just check out the following review and it was done using the regular G400 againist the TNT2 Ultra.
