Joe, <Why would Intel continue to sell Merced?> Same reason Intel continued to sell Pentium Pro servers even well into Xeon days. It's a very big deal releasing a new server platform. Compatibility, platform testing and validation, peripherals, software, etc. All of that is necessary when moving from one platform to another. Now, if McKinley were simply a drop-in replacement for Itanium, it would be a different story. But McKinley will be paired up with a brand new chipset and featured on brand new server platforms. There are going to be some migration issues involved, so for a while, at least, both Itanium and McKinley-based servers will be available on the market. My guess will be that Intel will drop the price of Itanium just before this overlap occurs. Tenchusatsu
