John, interesting note on optimized applications. We're seeing a divergence in x86 extensions. AMD has 3DNow, Enhanced 3DNow, and will soon have x86-64 extensions. Intel has SSE, SSE2, and IA-64. It's now a question of which extensions programmers will prefer. With limited budgets and tight schedules, I really doubt software developers can cater to both sides at the same time. (Microsoft is an exception, since limited budgets and tight schedules don't apply to them.) So which will they choose? I know for a fact that Intel tries to do a lot of handholding with software developers to get them to optimize toward Intel's platforms. I would be surprised if AMD didn't at least try to do the same. Tenchusatsu
