kapkan - <How is Itanic doing. I hear that Microsoft is scared out of their wits that they are now stuck with it for NT64.> I hear Itanium is doing just fine. I hear lots of things. Like PIII 800 systems are available at Fry's to carry home. Are you sure you don't want to bet on AMD having $100B larger market cap than Intel by the end of next year? Or have you already? PB
