Ten, <The AMD roadmap sounds pretty much like Dirk described in June, 1999.> You're wrong. Whatever happened to: 1) 8-way SMP 2) Mustang 3) 8M L2 caches (AMDroids were drooling over this possibility, not realizing it was just a neato Powerpoint filler) 4) Brand names: Athlon Ultra, Athlon Select, Athlon Professional 5) RISC-like FPU in K8 (as opposed to cloning SSE2) Dirk didn't talk about any of those things. He talked about single and dual-processor Athlons, and adding an onboard L2. Exactly what AMD has done. AMD management has not been perfect, but compared to the RDRAM/Merced/Timna/Camino/Willy fiascos, they are looking pretty fine. Scumbria
