Scumbria:

Noticed the volume this AM? Already over 2 million...If this rate continues throughout the day, we're looking at 7 million easily, in which case, that all-time high of 83-5/8's could easily get tested!. After all, AMD is just in the initial stages of the next upleg of 30% plus! (By the way, have you heard from Paul lately? Should we be calling 911?)

Scumbria,

<They designed a great processor in Willamette, and then chose to cripple it with expensive, long latency memory.>

Would you put latency concerns ahead of cost concerns?

I have a problem quantifying the trade-offs between slightly worse latency and significantly improved bandwidth especially since the bandwidth needs of Wilamette's multithreading and the new impact of SSE-2 are still unknown.
