Re: "From AMDZONE - "The reason cited (for the delay in releasing the 760MP) was not technological, as AMD has already demonstrated a multiprocessor system. AMD wanted to wait until they have secured a viable marketing/retailing partner for the powerful system." No doubt about it stribe. After all, AMD had SMP working in the lab in the summer of '99 and everyone knows how superior AMD's bus design is to Intel's. Never mind that Intel has never produced a P6 generation chipset die that didn't seamlessly support SMP, AMD has the superior design and they're just holding back "to wait until they have secured a viable marketing/retailing partner for the powerful system." The one thing I can't quite understand is, why aren't there plenty of partners lining up to sell AMD SMP systems????? EP
