PT, Re: <This really will be just a server chip unlike prior architecture transitions in x86 which were "server only."> The x86-16 to x86-32 went much faster than most of the 'PROs' thought it would. The P-Pro was a 'Server Only' chip for as long as it took to catch up to a Pentium 125 in 16 bit software. That was about when the developers started putting it on their desktops with Windows NT. It'd still run most of the old stuff and excelled at the new stuff. It'll be the same this time around, imo. But do note, I agree with your question "Why would you want to run 32-bit code on your Itanium?" with a minor variation. I'd ask "Why would you want to run any bit code on your Itanium?" And the jury IS still out on IA-64. I think Intel and HP will stick it out and get it to fly. But there are lots of people whose opinions I respect who think it's a dead duck. ;] tgptndr
