Tenchu; The other option open for AMD is to disable the multiprocessing attribute, reserving that for a premium chip, like Intel has done to the Celeron. If they make them all multiprocessor capable even the ones with the smaller cache will be formidable xeon foes when grouped. I agree with you about the chipset. These are all 2nd/3rd generation AMD chipsets with the early ones not seeing the light of day. In the rusj bugs emerge. After all you cannot debug the chipset until the CPU is finalised and bugs found that late make a large delay. I am not sure what to make of the stability comment referenced here and there with IBM and Compaq? No comments from IBM/Compaq and it is just the kind of sisinformation that Intel like to spread FUD. So the chipset may be fine, we just need a FUD filter. Has anyone direct knowledge from inside IBM/CPQ about these 'instabilities'?? Bill
