Hmmm, the Asus A7M266 also uses a 2 phase power solution.

Right here.

This maybe very well mean that a high quality 2 phase power solution is adequate enough for future processors.

"G|A?: To be successful in the corporate sector it would appear that a consistent adherence to a standard platform is necessary. An example would be Intel's success due to their long time usage of the Slot 1 interface. This allowed for large companies to purchase systems and then only need to upgrade the CPU's alone. Does AMD plan to take a page from Intel and keep pin compatibility with the Socket A motherboards of today with their next generation Palomino and Morgan chips?

AMD: We have absolutely invested in Socket A, and intend to keep it around as long as possible. So, yes. We have recently enjoyed some very big commercial design wins and we believe we have the ingredients to be successful in the corporate market."

Ive also seen some japanese site that had a T-Bird 1.2Ghz OCed to over 1.8Ghz on the A7M266... Sure seems it can handle alot of power.
