Otherwise, they'll have to remap all the multipliers (which wouldn't be that bad or that hard of a thing, and it would ensure backwards compatiblity). I think this depends mainly on the availability of 333MHz DDR SDRAM and how willing consumers will be to switch to a new motherboard at launch.

True...

But I guess they could goo alll the way up to the 40x Multiplier??? LOL
