Most people just regurgitate the same old crap. See the post above about 'arbitration' etc. Fact is, some Japanese techie nutter will prob be running quad ppga's per Slot 1 inside six months and sticking eight on a dual board for fun. There's no technical reason why it can't be done with circuitry on the slocket as an interface between the cpu and board chipset. Think about it. Everything you thought you knew is questionable after all.
