Re: "The K7 core performance and especially the 400 MHz bus and how it is likely to scale in multiprocessor environments. (not just additional CPU but IO processing as well) " Sorry Charles but this looks to me like utter speculation. There is no hint of a multiprocessor chipset for Athlon, much less a 400MHz bus. On Intel's part, they are expected to announce very soon availability of the 8-way profusion chipset. The 2Meg L2 Cascades is not much of an extension of PIII and Intel is already fabing a 1.5 Meg on-die cache for HP. I think you are really going out on a limb here. EP
