Re: servers and AMD making any headway, I suppose you have to try Don't forget that Intel still has to finish reworking everything for DDR. AMD got a 1 year pass while Intel chased Rambus shaped snipe. Between wasting 2 years on Merced/Itanium/McKinly and 2 years chasing Rambus, Intel gave AMD an incredible amount of time to use their once limited resources to develop competing chips. At this point it's still a question which company's 64 bit CPU will be first to market in volume and which will be first with DDR generation servers. Intel will probably get there first, buy by a month and a half instead of a year and a half. Given the relative positions of the two companies 2 years ago, that's a huge victory for AMD. For the next lap, AMD starts out 6 weeks behind instead of 18 months behind. Dan

Tony, servers and AMD making any headway, I suppose you have to try, but beating your head against a stone wall can get painful and expensive. I am not sure what you mean. AMD is about to test the waters with the first SMP chipset in it's history. I don't know how it translates to beating your head against a stone wall. If anything, I would say the efforts to gain entry into commercial market could be described as that, since AMD has been unsuccessfully trying for years, with a a system solution at hand. Joe
