Dale: I don't look for Hammer to displace Athlon/Duron quite so fast, but by the end of 2003 AMD should be selling more Hammer processors than Athlon/Duron processors. In any event, I'm certainly looking forward to seeing what kind of socket and bus protocol the Hammer will use. There would seem to be 3 separate possibilities: - Pure EV6 (with LDT being supported only via the Northbridge) - EV6 + some LDT pins - Pure LDT Option 1 would seem very unlikely: (LDT) Performance would suffer and it doesn't jive with the "no SocketA" reports. Option 2 is the one I consider the most likely, although I must admit I'm hoping for Option 3 (which could be implemented with or without integrated memory controller). -fyo
