HailMary,
Offhand I think it's the BTX issue to the 150w Tejas/P4

HailMary, Intel roadmaps indicate a very modest speed increase with LGA775 by the end of the year. 17% over the max launch speed of 3.4 Ghz on the socket 478. Not that impressive.

And it appears that due to power issues, 3.4 GHz is the max speed for Prescott on the old sockets/motherboards.
