Re: "from some of the posts on the AMD threads, sounds like AMD's SMP implementation is delayed until Q2 next year"

Pardon my pessimism but, after having SMP running in the lab for over a year, if all they can do at the MPF is demo a mesley 2-way Athlon system, then they are in a world of hurt in SMP land. It was just a demo after all this time and only 2-way to boot! (I type this on my dual processor Celeron system). It wasn't a production release system and 1 year after SMP running in the lab they still can't even do a pre-production demo of a 4-way much less 8/16 way. Wait until they have to do their system validation on much more complex systems.

I think they're still a long way off.
