Pravin - <Well, maybe the K8 will be running 64-bit Linux!> Then AMD will get to compete head to head with their Alpha buddies as well as Intel's IA64! I believe you may be getting close to opening the can of worms Charles and I have been avoiding pending more comment. Now you've done it! ;-) I haven't given an AMD bid at 64 bits much thought, but my initial gut feel is that the field would be a little crowded, and someone would lose big time. Maybe CPQ would sell Alpha to AMD, or vice-versa? Geez, I could go on and on. PB
