what it was that the Super Socket 7 Design has an identicle physical pin layout to the Socket 7 Design used by Pentium systems. this lead to alot of not only confuion but that Intel took AMD to court but lost for the same reason the Apple v Microsoft over the GUI they used failed. as a comprimise AMD agreed to design there own sockets that were not phyicialy pin compadible with Intel CPUs to prevent future confusion. however this laptop seems to be caugt in a very tiny time vacume where bolth a Socket7 and Super Socket7 CPU can be placedo n thesame mobo and that AMS changed thier name to somthing else. i remember findingg it somwhere else but i dont remember now. regardless it doesnt matter now becasue i've gut the computer for its hard drive and its CPU to use in a desktop computer/
