64 Bit processor could make INTC a gorilla. Yes, that's what I suspect. AMD and sundry aren't authorized to copy. I think Linux is very important here too; we can run it on the same boxes that run Windows now. This means Unix servers can use INTC cpus. Once upon a time the DEC alpha was the fastest chip around. Somehow, as far as I know, there was never developed for it a version of Windows that would run on that chip. Compaq bought DEC and is throwing away the alpha technology now. Microsoft evidently wouldn't bother with the alpha. That's the chance that a challenger gets against Intel. I emphasize that I don't own it and consider it too expensive. We are just discussing the matter of "is Intel (becoming) a gorilla?"
