> will 755xs be conevrtible into Pentiums?
Probably not.  The Pentium has a wider address space, even though it breaks
all address and data accesses into 32-bit chunks internally.  The Pentium
also requires 30W (somewhat less for the 3.3V 90Mhz versions). This is, of
course, not a good think for battery powered laptops with convection cooling.

A designer knows when he has achieved perfection not when there is
nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
