Dan, Re: "What might stop SUN from supporting Sledgehammer would be if Sledgehammer systems were also available from HP/Compaq - since SUN's customers might then see that as an endorsement of HP/Compaq products. There is a good chance that HP/Compaq will find it necessary to provide at least minimal support for Sledgehammer just to stop that from happening. Wheels within wheels, eh?" I could have predicted easily that you AMDroids would envision the industry fighting over control of Sledgehammer. Meanwhile, the real experts that have been through this kind of stuff before already realize that Sledgehammer on its current path will be a dud with no support. Of course, AMD will probably launch it anyway, in hopes that it catches on somewhere. Maybe it will, if it indeed comes to market on time, and has the performance that it's hyped up to have. Those are a lot of "ifs", though, and I take it that the experts have already considered such "ideal" cases. wbmw
