dumbmoney, Re: "Correct. But it won't be the "only other choice" after Intel adds 64-bit addressing to its x86 processors. Then Itanium will have to sink or swim on the merits."

Weren't you AMDroids rejoicing a week or so ago when rumor suggested that Prescott would not have Yamhill technology? I'm confused. It seems the prospect of Yamhill makes AMDroids either excited, because to them it means the end of Itanium, or scared, because it means some serious competition to x86-64. Who knows, maybe you guys will get lucky, and Intel will only release that technology to kill IA-64, and then make it compatible with x86-64 so that Intel inadvertently ends up being AMD's lapdog for the next several generations of microprocessors.

That sounds like Intel, doesn't it? I mean, as the AMDroids naively say: "Here's to 'hoping'."
