<Q: Do you have to be "in Korea" for this to work?> Not really, any part of Asia will do, I think. ;-) Though I would guess that, back here in America, if some dude had that annoying Taco Bell chihuahua for lunch, he'd quickly become a popular guy. <Q on topic: What will AMD do when the world is 64 bit, and I don't mean x86, and neither Intel nor HP licenses PA-RISC to AMD?> I don't think anyone can see that far into the future. Even Intel is planning for the coexistence of IA-32 and IA-64 for quite a while, as in years. However, AMD already licensed the Digital EV6 bus for Athlon. Maybe they're headed toward an Alpha-compatible processor in the future? I wouldn't be too surprised if that were really the case, even though I think that would be a dead-end street. Tenchusatsu

Eric, Your second question has also bothered me, but Intel and HP will be charging thousands of dollars a piece for IA64. I think there will be a large market for high performance x86 computers with software ports to support them. I don't think that Intel will be selling a Merced or Mckinley with in their Celeron line for $100. Pravin.
