Ten - Re: "That "bombast" was nothing more than the press inflating anti-Merced FUD to the extreme. HP merely said that their N-class of servers won't be going to Merced. " Well, the Press sure had me convinced ! Re: ". Even some AMDroids think that Merced won't be able to compete against a copper Athlon, even with Merced running native IA-64 apps. Boy will they be in for a surprise!" I don't know about that - the AMDroids keep talking about a 1 GHz AthWIPEY real soon now - and probably a 1 TerraHertz AthWIpey a few months after the 1 GHz AthWIPEY ! The AthWipey is one Spry Cookie ! Paul

Ten, re Merced usage by HP, HP commented that Merced will be supported in other lines of servers, but that comment was relegated to a mere footnote near the bottom of the articles. There was at least one article that showed up whose sole purpose was to quote Bob Carlson, a marketing director for servers at HP, saying HP would definitely be using Merced in some servers. I think the HP guy before that was speaking out of line when saying no Merced usage. Tony
