Charles, It's certainly not clear to me that the compiler technology will exist in time to take full advantage of the architecture, nor is it clear to me that it'll perform well in environments requiring rapid context switching. The bottom line is that EPIC, being new, is unproven. All very true, but there are a lot of companies getting behind IA-64, including Sun, in part. They all seem to see the economy of scale, or ISV (Intel Standard High-Volume) that Intel can bring. Will be interesting. It seems to me that the best way to play this would be to be holding both Sun and Intel stock. Tony
