JC, Chuck, et al: <Plenty of people, including me, believe that the Alpha sale is a loss to AMD (but more in terms of compilers than anything else, imho). >

Assuming this compiler is critical for the Hammer, what steps are required for it to be implemented in the current environment in terms of both personnel and money? With respect to the former, rumors abound about disaffected Compaq employees that might be easily hired away and IP is apparently not an issue. And as for the latter, AMD does have over $1B in the bank. Is there really a problem here?
