<Class customers and that only N-Class customers should bypass Merced. McKinley is the chip that will be available when the roadmap for N-Class customers calls for an upgrade to IA-64, typically every two to three years. HP is not recommending that customers on other platforms bypass Merced.>

I get it. The HP customers are recommended to skip Merced, but IBM and SUN customers are encouraged to embrace it.

re: "As the sole co-developer of IA-64 with Intel, HP has taken the leadership position in ensuring broad adoption of the architecture and has made significant progress in preparing customers for the transition to IA-64. IA-64 is HP's strategic platform for the future."
