Bottom line is that there is one helluva lot more to getting specified as the µP for a server than just Megahertz, but I'm sure you already knew that. So, isn't comparison of the K7 to Xeon awfully premature? Tony, I was only asking a question, not making a comparison. However, the fact that K7 uses the Alpha bus certainly supports the idea that AMD intends the processor to be used in MP applications. It would be absurd to use an MP bus/memory controller in a single processor system, because of the overhead involved in the cache coherency protocols. Scumbria
