Kap, "I get it. The HP customers are recommended to skip Merced, but IBM and SUN customers are encouraged to embrace it." Well.. isn't that funny. UltraSparc III based boxes are due to roll shortly after 2000... IBM is betwixt with Power4 due in 2001 .. no slouch with bus speed at 500 MHz. At FRS the OS's aren't there for Merced it appears. Oh sure, they have been ported but you downshift from UltraSparc III for Merced, you downshift from PA-RISC (8600) for Merced. Win64? Maybe. Williamette will be out and right up there with Merced on the integer side... Merced is an interesting study. What to do what to do. Certainly not HP/UX. Maybe some other loser OS. Rob
