Elmer, I'm sure you realize that even Intel took quite a while before they were even capable of 2-way and 4-way SMP. And Intel's record in SMP isn't spotless, either. If you remember back when the 4-way Xeon/450NX platform was released, there was a nasty bug which plagued it for six months following. (I forgot the details, though. Go figure.) So the delays we're seeing from AMD is pretty much par for the course. You can expect the schedule for their Hammer processors, especially those for 4-way and 8-way SMP, to slip. I say this not as an insult to AMD or their engineers, but as a mere statement of the way things are with SMP. Tenchusatsu
