The P7 is pathetically delayed. The question in my mind is will they make the same mistake that was done with the Pentium Pro or was it the straight Pentium, of leaving out the 16-bit optimization. The result was that the older chips was as fast or faster in older applications. The software writers are not going to do too much optimization for the 64bit architecture, for applications. Why? its not worth the effort and they will not abandon the 32bit world and its installed base. Just like 16bit to 32bit. Servers yes, will take effect of the change right away. you said (Actually, IA-64 is meant to be hardware-compatible with IA-32, but IA-32 code running on an IA-64 processor isn't expected to have mind-blowing performance.) HELLO what is the next generation of the IA-32 after the pentium3 anything??? Legacy software is a bitch but it the only thing that kept intel and msft from the PS2 Warp OS/2 attack. I will get out a AMD part pay less money buy off the self software and blow away the IA-64.........that what you imply, and remember in the corparate system arena legacy software can exits for years and years. I heard intel used CCMail 2.1 even when CCMail 6.0 existed The P7 is stillborn, the P8 will do well in servers cheers
