It is also the reason why Intel has 3 different mainboards for the
same damn interface.

Socket 370:
  VRM8.2 = PPGA Celeron
  VRM8.4 = FC-PGA Celeron/Pentium III
  VRM8.5 = FC-PGA Talium

Plus we're not even touching the Pentium 4 yet, which has two
different interfaces based on whether or not you're using DRDRAM
(Socket-423) or SDR SDRAM (Socket-472).

Hence why I will continue to like AMD.  Socket-462 takes any Athlon
CPU.
