Actually, it "Logically" can... (Score 1)

AMD moved their new microprocessor to the slot A architecture for several reasons, most of them technical. Did you even read the white papers? The new procs run on a 200mhz system bus inheirited from the Alpha, support up to 8MB of L2 cache, and can [in the future] be scaled upwards of 16 processors to a single board (DAMN, that machine would cook!). Another interesting possibility, which I'm not sure is actually doable, is buying a multiple-proc slot A motherboard and slapping some Alphas in it (same slot/bus, remember?). I guess if you ignore all of this, there isn't a reason that AMD switched to the slot A architecture. IOW: Shut the hell up and know what you're talking about before you shoot your mouth off again.
