Are there any situations ... I'm sure there are. Actually I have no hard figures, it's not my job to compare but to get the systems out the door. Are there issues? Yes, there are always issues in pre-release which is why they aren't already in the showrooms. Situation is normal. It is my perception that they are nice systems but then I'm a succor for the latest technology. TP - Okay, I've been to enough meetings to know some limitations. The chief one is that the Camino has a limit to the number of devices on the bus. This means if you have a program that needs lots and lots of memory ( file servers for example) then there is a limit to how much memory you can add. That's just Camino though, these limits will increase in the future. There will be whole famililes of controllers and CPUs devoted to different markets. Right now the market is the mainstream desktop. Maybe 3 programs open under windows and you want the spreadsheet to calculate while you blink. More markets will be served later. The story has just begun. PT
