Dan3, Hyperthreading is just basically a way to get more processing bang for the buck, but people aren't paying for it in the form of top end cpus anyways. I'm not sure that Hyperthreading will add anything to demand for top-end units. Unfortunately, my feeling is that it'll be another MMX. In other words, it's a great thing to have once software is optimized for it, but not something you'll pay a dollar more for. 64 bit chips are a different story though. It's the real wild card for year 2003... stak
