Dan, <But then Intel introduced a 32 bit Pentium to compete with 16 bit 286's that were available from NEC, Harris, and AMD.> That wasn't the Pentium, Dan. That was the 386. <Despite the fact that it was years before there was a significant base of 32 bit applications, the marketing value of the "32 bitness" of the Pentium let Intel destroy its competition and that's how Intel came to dominate the CPU market.> Wrong again. By the time there was a significant base of 32-bit apps, 32-bit processors were all over the place. The selling point of "32-bits" applied to SOFTWARE, not HARDWARE. Tenchusatsu
