dumbmoney, Re: < You should be comparing the x86->Itanium transition with the x86->MIPS transition, the x86->PowerPC transition, and the x86->Alpha transition. (What? You mean those "transitions" didn't happen? Well, why not?)> Because they were doing a basic architecture change? Re: <Not even Intel believes that.> I really agree with you and wrote the previous message wrong. The chat was about 64-bit vs 32 bit and X-86 sort of vs IA-86. And I was voting strongly for the 64 part of the whole thing. I think(and surely hope) the X86-64 is going to DO the desktops and that IA-64 may work in the server spaces. And that if the IA-64 doesn't make it in the server spaces X86-64 has about as much chance as anything else out there. But If Intel gets Itanic X system price down to 2X X86-32 high end and get the performance on 32 bit stuff up to 75% of top flight X86-32 kit, they'll get the desktop too, imo. But we'll see in a couple of years. tgptndr
