But the original buzz was that the Itanium was supposed to be a hotrod. But, much like the Transmeta, it has been repositioned by the realities of the marketplace. Come on, do you really need the EPIC architecture to only address more than 4GBytes? This makes sense to you?

800 mhz wasn't going to make Itanic a hotrod, Eric. It's just what Intel said it would ship at. Real Soon Now.

Eric, Re: It's supposed to be a server product for large address space problems and the like.

LOL! Yeah RIGHT! That's what Intel had in mind when they started designing this 7 years ago...

Let's make a really SLOW, HOT chip, but hey, it'll have a large address space!

You've entered the Engel-Zone, I'm afraid, unless you were joking.
