- It has been said, that Local Bus, ESIA and possibly an undisclosed other
- bus standards will be implemented. It's VERY unlikely that anyone will make
- a version with a 16 bit bus. Why? They're working on a lower version
- code-named the P-24T which will handle the mid to low range markets.
-
- The Pentium isn't suddenly going to take the place of the 386-486's.
- Actually, it CANNOT. It's not a drop-in situation.
