Constantine, Re: "I never said IA-64 will die. I just said that the P4 will probably get 64 bit extensions at some point for the sole purpose of making AMD's extensions obsolete. What effect the P4 64-bit extensions will have on IA-64 is up for debate." My guess is that Intel will do something about the 32-bit memory addressing problem by giving the Pentium line more physical address lines. Of course this will require a small modification of the architecture, but this is similar to what x86 has done multiple times through its lifetime. I am guessing that 44-bit addressing will probably be more than sufficient for a consumer chip, probably for the rest of the decade (this is 16TB, in case you didn't know). wbmw
