Dear Tench: Are you sure of Itanium's release? Last I heard was that Itanium was delayed (again) to Q1 2001. And even if it is released, does that mean it will ship on that day or sometime later? Intel's emulator was available but, I believe you had to pay a large fee. AMD's is available for download for free (taking the freeware route (IMHO a better route to get more software available by launch)). BTW, I believe that at some time in the future, both Intel and AMD would activate a mode to use the underlying RISC engine directly. IMHO, the x86 instruction set is removing a lot of performance from all of their platforms. Getting high speed in that mode should not be difficult since all of them have high register counts, scads of execution units, and highly tuned pipelines. These underlying RISC engines are probably some of the best around. It will take some work to validate their operation on general purpose loads but the gains should be worth it. This could also assist in making the final transition away from CISC architectures and become a natural evolution rather than a quick change. Pete
