Yousef - Re: <BTW, the main risk is not "contamination" due to Copper ... This can be easily controlled.> I am not personally convinced of this. I agree it should be relatively straight forward to generate a procedure that outlines how to contain Cu. It's the execution in a production environment I don't know about. Granted, I might just be a Nervous Nellie about this, as I don't know how robust AMD's Cu containment plan is, physical proximity of front-end to back-end processing, etc. Maybe they'll be fine in this regard. As I believe you have pointed out, another Cu risk is it's immature stature at this point, besides the fact it seems unnecessary for .18, which relates to cost vs. performance. Cu doesn't appear to provide a significant performance gain for .18. IMHO, PB
