Pravin,

I noticed something in an article about Intel:

news.com

Despite this spate of activity, Intel will not be the first company to begin shipping 0.18-micron chips. As reported earlier, IBM will release its first 0.18-micron PowerPC microprocessors for commercial consumption later this summer, according to sources close to IBM.

Moreover, these processors will use copper rather than aluminum wires to connect circuits, a change in metals that will in time improve performance. IBM's roadmap also seems to indicate that it will be producing 0.18-micron processors based around the Intel architecture by 1999 or 2000.

Pravin - Re: "Wintel must be getting a little nervous about the momentum that Linux and Alpha are making. Oracle, Informix, and Netscape have all announced Linux support in the last few days."

WINTEL may be getting nervous, but INTEL isn't!

Linux was WRITTEN for x86 CPUS and I think more than 98% of all LINUX OS and applications runs on Intel-architecture machines.

I think the attitude at Intel is - the More LINUX the Merrier!

Paul
