Windsock, >Like the 760MP chipset the Mustang should debut in the first half of 2001.

So AMD is late with this and they've put it where it has no lead over Foster workstations and small servers. Also, Foster might just be a few hundred MHz faster than Mustank. The family jewels appear to be safe.

In this business performance is less important than reliability which has yet to be proven as far as DDR-SDRAM is concerned.

Tony, the last part confirms that your are dead on target about RAS in the service business.


Oh yes, haven't had my RAS hat on in a while.

WindSock - re: "Apparently the Demo was AMD trickery...There was no public demonstration of a running MP system as suggested by the AMD press release. Rather AMD showed a system with two Athlons (1.2 GHz, FSB266) and DDR-SDRAM behind closed doors on the 15th floor of Fairmont Hotel. "

My GOD !!!

It was a HOAX !!!

Sheeesh - where is SCUMbria's UNADAULTERATED OUTRAGE at the AMD HOAX ??

And the PRESS reported that AMD had actually PUBLICLY DEMOED an SMP AthWiper system !
