Ten,

RE: Even Intel is planning for the
coexistence of IA-32 and IA-64 for quite a while, as in years.


That's why I'm wondering when AMD will layout their plans for the future. To use an old saw, Merced is late, took years to develop, I guess AMD could probably just crank out a 64 bit design tomorrow? And MSFT will just come running to help develop a version of NT64, and all vendors will compile two sets of binaries for such a high volume chip. Not.

RE: However, AMD already licensed the Digital EV6 bus for Athlon. Maybe they're
headed toward an Alpha-compatible processor in the future?


Sweet, after Compaq and MSFT just announced they have dropped NT64 development on this chip.
