Scumbria - RE: "I hope that K8 is being put together as carefully as K7 was." I have noticed you say something like that a few times. You have also said if the Sledgehammer is being designed by the Nexgen team the processor won't be that great, or something along those lines. And you have also said you don't like x86-64 much. Do you have reason to believe the Sledgehammer approach isn't a wise one, or do you just not like x86 being extended to 64-bit? Are you wary about any software support, such as having an OS that supports it? At least it will also be a true 32-bit processor in case x86-64 is a flop... BTW, be sure to let us know what your expertise thinks about Willy when Intel releases info about it next week. ;)
