Wouldn't it really make MORE sense for AMD to offer Applebred in 100MHz fsb and 133MHz fsb, rather than solely 133MHz?

If the markets they are aiming at rely on price then it seems to make more sense to play both 100MHz and 133MHz fsb's considering how many old 100MHz fsb boards are being dumped in the channels for next to nothing in return. It might be that these cores simply won't be compatible, electrical wise, with the older 100fsb boards and that most 133fsb boards are built to a more compatible standard. Just seems that if they want to aim for cheap then they need to support the cheapest motherboards, too.

Makes sense to me, but I think AMD is operating on anti-sense lately...
