Re: "Elmer, Is the celeron SMP? or is that core broken I thought the Athlon was SMP capable, but not implemented in a chipset yet? It is my understanding that as soon as an SMP chipset is ready that the Athlons will drop in, so they are all SMP capable. yet not all Intel products are. Most are not SMP capable(I assume the celeron is still the largest volume part Intel sells)?? Intel is big in the cheap server market but has little presence in the big enterprise servers"

Commrad Billsky please be more careful in your reading. What I said was that Intel has never shipped a P6 generation chipset die that wasn't SMP capable but in addition, I have a dual processor Celeron system at home so you be the judge if they are SMP capable as well.

Bill,

Re: "It is my understanding that as soon as an SMP chipset is ready
that the Athlons will drop in, so they are all SMP capable."

When will this chipset be available, Bill ?? Is this why you and
others think AMD has so much "potential". AMD needs to turn
that "potential" into revenue ... In the meantime, Intel will keep
that revenue.

Make It So,
Yousef
