Dan, Like Intel has given up on IA-64? Those aren't out yet, either. Which do you think will be in regular production first? To me, a more interesting question is a dual chipset for P4, or should I say the lack of it. It used to be the price of entry to the so called workstation market. Now I guess Intel says SMP is not necessary for workstations, I guess until Intel has one ready. Which chipsets are supposed to support P4 or Foster in dual configuration? When are they supposed to arrive? There seems to be a distinct possibility that AMD will beat Intel with the release of SMP chipset. Joe

Monica - Re: "Like Intel has given up on IA-64? Those aren't out yet, either." Wrong again, Blow Hard Boy - they are in Pilot Production - and shipping. Unlike the AMD SMP Servers which, acording to you, were to habe been in production 7 months ago in August, 2000 - but in fact - are "still in AMD's Lab" !!!
