mula - <Let me conjecture here. IMHO if Intel can have the entire CPU supplier, industry for itself why not do it. Not to worry about any competition AMD, etc. As mentioned in earlier post, economics will force they small players like AMD, etc to stay in a market which is quickly moving on to IA-64, at the same time shrinking their market. The faster this happens the better it is for intel. Then you don't have to hear about AMD anymore. Analogous to pulling away from the competition.> Let me play devil's advocate : Do you really think that a) there will be enough 64 bit DT SW in that time frme to make this scenario viable, and b), will McKinley improve significantly enough wrt performance of native IA32? I'm genuinely curious, and my questions are totally unwashed (I'm a dumb ol' process guy, not architecture guy :-)). PB
