Found this and thought I would share. Kindof an interesting little piece of history. As most of you probably know, AMD has stopped production of chips based on the socket A "K7" architechture and this is the last one!

RIP K7 you were good to me and will keep my media PC running strong for as long as you do...

same here, those were some damn good chips for the standard PC, and even the pre-week 39's were good for OC'ing......they will be missed

; the XP chip is what brought me towards AMD personally, I was really fond of the early Thoroughbred cores, as well as the newer Bartons....awesome chips, both of em.
