MB - (To All, Has anyone else noticed the similarity of the name Itanium to Iridium? Could this be Intel's little satellite that couldn't? Hope so. <g> ) The name is a hope that enough heat sinking can be applied that it will only tan, rather than burn. -g- Regards, Don

MB, >>similarity of the name Itanium to Iridium You are now having late night fantasies. I need to look at the specs...it better be at a minimum comparable in hardware components to the G4 or it is history. By this I mean register count, vector processors, word size, streaming, multi parallel ports, etc. It looks to me like the next GX will have memory on board the processor. Just a guess of mine for the next step. BTW, this should be good for Micron... another late evening fantasy. Joan
