Interesting in that the chipset is also in a FC configuration. Man, love the size of that willy! :)

Shazam: Could you clarify? What is an "FC" configuration?

I suspect you are saying "Flip Chip", but I suspect you are meaning "socketed" or perhaps "pin grid array". These are two completely different concepts ("flip chip" is a portion of a manufacturing process recently adopted by Intel and before that used by AMD for a few years, but it does not require that the cpu be in a socket, nor does it require being PGA, I think.

I'm asking because you might actually be saying something different, and I'd like to know if I'm missing something interesting. :)

Umm, socketed and pin grid array mean the same thing. And to link, you type in the tags [ l ] www.fjsdklaf.com [ /l ], except without the spaces inside the brackets.

Yucky: Read my message again (please). I was comparing flip-chip with sockets and pga. I wasn't comparing sockets with pga.

Also ... I know about the link tag being an 'L'. Really. I'm just too used to UBBs. ^_^

PS: "socketed" and "pin grid array" don't *have* to mean the same thing. I mean, they're practically synonymous, but you could have a pga chip mounted on a PCB and you'll have a Slot-type processor. The 386 was connected by a pin grid array, but I don't know if you'd call its connector a socket precisely. But that's just semantics. ;)
