Chuckles - Re: "time once Compaq moves to Athlon based systems. "

That explains Compaq and Samsung's $500,000,000 investment in ALPHA today !

Chuckles - Re: "Every vendor who has bet against x86 has lost - for a good reason"

That's a good point.

But the bettors have LOST against Intel - not AMD !

Maybe Intel will repeat the IAPX432 failure - on a grander scale.

Then again, maybe Intel is sowing the seeds for the eventual displacement of the x86 architecture by a COMPATIBLE CPU with an even more compelling architecture on the same chip !
