HerbVic, >>> I don't necessarily think that IBM is making a Power PC chip that will emulate a Pentium II as a mode switchable added feature set. But, it is within reason that they could. <<< A year or so ago, it was rumored that IBM was going to produce the PowerPC 615 - this was to be your dual PPC/Intel instruction set chip. I don't remember why it was dropped. Also, Motorola's and IBM's PowerPC Platforms (PPCPs), also called Common Hardware Reference Platforms (CHRPs), were to be able to support PowerPC and Intel hardware. It's too bad this effort was apparently stopped. Jeff
