Cringe - Re: "If Intel and HP had it to do all over again, do you think they would design Merced to scale better?"
If they could do it again they would probably design a time machine first so they could take make it come out on time"

That's funny !!

Intel's 64 bit Merced has come out about 2 YEARS AHEAD of AMD's 64 bit SludgeHumper.

ANd it was functional on first silicon.

ANd the 4-way CHip Set was functional as well.

And 4 or 5 64 bit Operating Systems BOOTED within a month - from Microsoft, Sun, IBM/SCO, Red Hat, etc.

Any PC companies announce support AMD's SLudgeHumper ?

Kinda makes you wanna cringe, eh Cringe ?
