Kash, I'll just comment on one thing you said in your post:

<And sledgehammer with 2 Athlons per die plus 64 bit adressing etc. should be able to play with Willamette on performance all day long.>

I really don't think a dual-core Sledgehammer will be available that soon. First, AMD has to release the single-core Sledgehammer first, and that probably won't be here until 2H 2001. By then, well, that's all I'll say for now.

Kash - re: "But it seems to me there are VERY VERY many server apps. where having the 64 bit adressing is beneficial coupled with legacy software support. "

Legacy x86 software (current applications) would support only 32 bit addressing, wouldn't they ?

Then of what use would the 64 bit addressing be to these 32 bit legacy programs?

Paul
