Paul, <Re: "the same sources say a number of K8 engineers at AMD have been wooed away from the firm to work at various Silicon Valley startups" Looks like the RUMORS may have some FACTS behind them !> Nice FUD! Want to get the turnover numbers on the Merced program from your contacts?

Paul - For those who have been following this Seti program, I've found some interesting information: Of all the groups participating, the fastest runtime I have seen is ~2 hours 30 minutes at one of compaq's benchmarking centers. I assume that is a highend Alpha. Intel has 1 contributor averaging ~2 hours 45 minutes. What do you suppose it could be? I don't think Intel uses any Alphas.... Interestingly, AMD has hardly anyone participating at all and their scores are really anemic. EP
