<< For the average user (even a power user) MP is most likely a waste. >> Steve, I agree MP is overkill for an individual and it's true that there are CAD applications that may require a single chip like alpha instead of MP. So your point is well taken. But most of the server applications (ie NT Network servers, Mail Servers, Web Servers, Lotus Notes and MS Exchange Groupware servers, as well as all major database applications will benefit from SMP and I believe it will be the preferred choice). Before Intel bought corollary there was no standard. But now Windows NT Enterprise edition will support SMP and Intel's profusion technology will make it a standard. Unisys, IBM, NCR, HP, Cpq etc will all offer standard 8-way systems based on Intel's technology. Unisys is going a step further and promises 32 and 64-way SMP servers by year end. As an Intel investor Alpha really isn't much of a concern. AMD/Cyrix inflicted price erosion is Intel's biggest challenge and I hope Intel can deal with it like they have in the past. Dale
