Paul, Thanks for your response re: K6 can't do servers. << By the time the K6 came along - it was too little and way too late (April, 1997). It is functionally equivalent to a Pentium MMX - it has no APIC or SMP capability. >> Are they going to try to change this or is it virtually impossible to architect the chip to do so>? << AMD doesn't make chip sets - they "buy" them from VIA technologies. >> How does this prevent them from getting multiple processors working? Thanks. On a side note, have you ever thought about writing something yourself (ie. a book, novel)? You have a lot to give and i assume you have a h*ll of a lot of good stories to tell. all imho pigboy
