<Certainly there is no such thing as too much speed, especially in handling multi-media data traffic. So, I2O may be justified on PCs just as it is on servers, albeit to a somewhat lessor extent.> I'd go even further, and say that I20 looks like a linchpin of a new PC architecture for multimedia. In multimedia, the holy grail has been TV-quality and better video, along with CD-quality audio; and this requires fast, reliable I/0 handling, including multimedia decompression. A faster CPU does not guarantee such handling, because you never know what else it's up to and when it will get around to that next video frame or audio sample. But I20 on an RTOS does provide that guarantee, given reliable delivery by the network. For multimedia, and therefore for PC's - especially consumer PC's - this is really big! David Schoenbach
