Chipset Makers Ready for AMD FSB Change

"Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has reportedly decided to change the FSB (front-side bus) standard of its upcoming Athlon XP 2700+ processor from the current 266MHz to 333MHz, contrary to its previous announcement that it would not alter the architecture of its K7-core Athlon XP products."

This is some pretty good news. Though it makes you wonder, did the chipset market drive this change? or was it something else?
