Muzo, <I bought a PPro for Spice simulations but now my next machine is an Athlon 1.2G with 512M of DDR and definitely not a P4. I want to run spice at a speed not slower than my current P3 machines.> If you decide to hold off on buying a new machine for Spice (for whatever reason), and there will soon be a new simulator available that is optimized for Pentium 4, would you change your mind? If so, Intel has its work cut out for them over the next year. Tenchusatsu

muzosi, Re: I am not saying P4 won't be a successful architecture, I am just saying that currently isn't Which no one really expect it is as people have gone through all those argument like its hyperpipeline, small L1 cache, weak FP. Even Intel didn't, they eye on the future and make their bet, AMD made a completely different bet in its K7. We shall see who will win in 2 years time. BTW, given Athlon's price/performance as of now, it is a perfect stop gap for me right now :-) gary
