Rob - re: "So.. maybe they will clean up critical paths and get Merced to 1 GHz late next year... but will Athlon still only be at 1 GHz in copper? " Athlon ISN'T at 1 GHz and it ISN'T in COPPER. Re: "... so why bother with Merced? Only so many will want the latest and greatest over-priced toy. Athlon will be far cheaper." Sure - try stringing 64 Athlons together in an SMP server - or 256 - or 512. Once again, AMD's advantage will be that it is CHEAPER than Intel. That did AMD a lot of damn good with Kdawg 62's and Kmart 63's - have you seen their LOSSES recently ? Paul
