MONACO <I see AMD trading at 28 after hours..M> Strange... qs.secapl.com these guys show 30.5 at 15:12 BTW, MONACO, about hot-plug PCI. Paul as usual is as accurate as farting at the moon (sorry for strong language). The problem with PCI is not the electricals as Paul noted - the electricals were solved long time ago with hot-swappable disk drives. The major problem with PCI is that it has to be configured after power-on: all PCI devices and PCI buses must be enumerated, memory and I/O resources must be allocated, interrupts assigned, etc. This is done during boot up of the machine, and is not dynamically reconfigurable. There must be even more problems with operating system itself besides the PCI recinfiguration. Intel was heading the PCI commitee and overlooked (turned down) this important functionality. Now Comaq is taking the lead. Hope this helps. - Ali
