Lewinsky - Dan - Where are those AMD SMP servers ? You promised they would be on the market last August - and now AMD is hoping to ship "samples" of their chip set by next June !! The wheels have fallen off over at Jerry's house ! Oh - maybe you can also explain why there are no mobile AthWipey's - and NONE IN SIGHT for the next 6 months ! Paul

Re: "Relatively few people were interested in the Pentium PRO" The PPro was the world's highest performance Integer processor when introduced and marked Intel's first entry into the lucrative SMP marketplace where they made a ton of money. All P6 generation processors have been SMP capable from inception (I type this on my dual processor Celeron system). In fact Intel has had a real problem turning it off(again, I type this on my dual processor Celeron system). Meanwhile, AMD keeps falling flat on their face trying to get the simplest SMP system working. Looks like it is simply too much for them. EP
