Ten, ...ntel is designing two different commodity platforms for Merced:

1) Lion: 4-way 460GX system, tons of memory and PCI buses
2) Big Sur: 2-way 460GX system, AGP-4x port, single-motherboard construction (w/ three daughtercards)

These commodity platforms will be your regular "cookie-cutter" stuff from Dell, Gateway, Compaq, etc.


You mean Gateway will stoop to using Intel in the future?

Lion and Big Sur, thanks for the real info.

Tony
