nop, i am really talking about those pentium one computers where the motherboard was CONFIGURAABLE to support many brand of CPUs including, CYRIX, INTEL, AMD and another one i don't quite remember !
they were SOCKET 7 !
on it you had the chance to plug a CYRIX CPU up to to 333mhz.
ot you could plug in an INTEL CPU up to 233mmx.
or you could go with AMD, up to 300mhz (latest boards supported up to 500mhz)
see, even Pentium two's with SLOT 1 type CPUs could support multiple brands like that. ever since the P4 and AMDs K7... that' freedom that we had was sred to dust, now a days we have no choice but to choose one brand and go with it, which is bad. cause its becoming hard and harder to customize the PC to your liking !
the many companies are staring to look like APPLE more and more everyday !
APPLE makes computer you can't change at all, you buy it that way and if it broke you're stuck with it or you buy another one !
other companies are coming to this as well !
