Paul, Re: "Intel isn't using Bipolar technology in the Merced - it's a CMOS process!" Didn't you hear? Since Merced is supposed to approach or match mainframe computer speeds, it must use the technology mainframes made famous...bipolar! Actually, mainframes are doing very well with CMOS nowadays. IBM just announced a ~ 500 MHz machine, to be available 9/98. A couple of months later, I think, they'll be selling versions of the same machine that run at 570 MHz (about). These are up to 10 way SMP machines. They're using speed binning, finally adopting the idea from the chip industry. This is all on 0.18 micron production processing. Let's get with the program, Intel! Going back to my first farcical statement, that's what it is. Bipolar is dead. Tony
