<No one said that Merced will never be available.> Eah, "Seeing" a piece of silicon or even a card does not mean much. It may be cold dead. Even if it is not dead, it may only execute a few bus cycles. Even if it execute some cycles it does not mean that it can execute essential instructions. Even if it executes instructions, it does not mean that it executes them effectively.
