<Otherwise, who people should trust more - Intel's guys who have no experience in scalable multiprocessing whatsoever, or former Digital engineers who have built lots of highest-performing systems?>

Heh, good one. Maybe I'll turn the question around and ask: Who should we trust more, some AMD guys who have tons of experience in bottom-feeding, or Intel engineers who have pushed the x86 technology envelope further than anyone could have imagined until now? (But you don't have to answer that question, for I know how far AMD has come since its bottom-feeding days.)

Oh yeah, the prices of Digital's servers are in the range of six to seven figures, while the prices of Intel's servers are an order of magnitude below. What makes you think that those former Digital engineers aren't going to make the price of K7 servers exorbitantly high?

<When Intel was cut off from the high-scalable Digital party due to indecent behavior (as you know, they had a look at Alpha design but decided not to pay for the ideas), they have nothing to do but invent their own "bus".>

Still hanging on to your theory that Intel is nothing but a Digital copycat?

I personally give AMD more credit that most Intel-a-bee's would. I suggest that you do the same for Intel, lest you want to end up in the same category as Fuchi "who loves Cyrix innovations" Wu.
