Why Pins?
If this question is lame, forgive me, but can I ask:
Why when intel upgrade their CPU's, they change the number of pins? As in Celeron/PIII 370, P4 423/478, Xeon 603... What good does increasing the number of pins do? If changing the number of pins is good, why AMD still uses Socket A 462 for their CPU's now?
I thought of this question when I looked at my Socket423 and sighed... (The only upgrading option is a 2.0ghz...)
