Re: Sounds like you have devoted an enormous effort to understanding the detailed workings and performance of this processor. No I haven't, and I never claimed I did. I think very few people really know much about the Itanium. Eventually, I think INTC and AMD will both have 64 bit processors that make tremendous impact on the server market. The paradigm shift will begin when one of these companies produces a 64 bit processor in volume (with SMP board support) that is competitive with Sun's Ultra Spark or IBM's RISC. I can hardly wait to hear what you say about Merced once you actually DO SEE one and, if it isn't asking too much, SEE IT IN ACTION. I will see one in action hopefully by the end of the year. IBM has tight lipped projects going on now, the employees can't even let other IBM employees know what they are doing. I'd assume a similar situation exists at HWP, CPQ, DELL, GTW, etc. As soon as it's not IBM-confidential and I can get a first hand look, I'll let you know what I see. BTW; Why do you own AMD stock? If you think AMD is doomed, why own the stock? You must think the stock is going up, or why hold it? Please inform me why you think the stock will continue to rise. chic
