George, interesting design point. It appears that the chip will utilize both engines as active processors versus having one solely for redundancy probably for performance reasons but used in a redundancy capacity you could architect an Nway Virtual Architecture. The second engine backs up the first and is is activated non-disruptively, the multi-engine chip is backed up by chip sparing in the MCM and then you create additional redundancy between machines within a Parallel Sysplex. MTBF in light years. Anyway, back to work George, we need G7 ASAP!

Hi George, Nice to hear from an "insider"! Could you tell me if the Power4 has anything to do with the PowerPC architecture, and whether Apple may be able to use the Power4 in its Macintosh product line? I have both a financial and "emotional" investment in Apple and I really hope to hear back from you on this. I also invest in IBM so this announcement is good news in any case. Thanks.... Edit: I sympathize for your car! I live near lake Travis and hardly saw a drop of rain today. Those storms are very spotty...
