they probably will with the next generation of im guessing CPUs - I mean didnt they have there old "6" chipsets out with all the last generation of CPUs? or am I reading too much into that and there is another reason for there numbering system

I know the AMD boards all use 7 in the model number because the Athlon is the K7. I'm not sure why they use 7 in their Intel boards though....
