Paul, As long as we are guessing about Willamette here's my take. Willamette will have the MMX-2 instructions plus an add on set of instructions that will be taken from IA-64. (if you will an extension of MMX-2.. albeit a little different). Willamette will probably have 256K of L2 cache on board and work using an L3 cache setup (what would be considered L2 today)... kinda like the Alpha does. Willamette will run at about 600Mhz at about 1.2v. Willamette will support upto 16 processors off the shelf. Willamette will be slot compatible with Merced and will be the "in-between chip". Bu a Willamette now and upgrade only the CPUs and software to Merced next year. Steve
