Re: " Why spend $3000 on a computer when a $10 unit performs the task better? Why use a tactical Nuke when a firecracker can do the job? For the applications Intel is touting (MPEG compression and moving data from one area to another), there currently exists specialized hardware that outruns the P4 (MPEG 2 compression is done real time on a $300 (soon it can be done a a $25 chip) plug in board whereas the P4 cannot do it at more than 10% real time and for data movement, a $1 (if that) DMA chip outruns it)." You certainly have a lot of facts about a chip that isn't even out yet. How is it you seem to know so much about what it can or can't do when no information is available or what little information is there is from preproduction silicon and chipsets? EP
