...HP is not dumping PA-RISC. Merced will run both x86 AND PA-RISC... Yuck! PA-RISC is horrible - I tried reading the manuals to write a spinlock in assembler. Never worked out how to do it :-/ - it was really simple for SPARC and only marginally harder for MIPS. - and x86 sucks too... A processor that does both sounds like a really bad idea to me. Two processors (one for each would be better) - which is what I hear Sun is doing with SPARC & x86. Kev.
