Ian, you claimed Merced would use bipolar technology, a Pentium is not a Merced. In addition Pentiums haven't used bipolar technology for quite some time(years). Elmer, Actually, it's closer to one year. But that's hardly the point. I said that the technology which serves as the core of the Merced isn't owned by Intel. This conclusion is based not on conjecture, but on reports and links I've already provided from C-Net and other sources. An excerpt: Exponential filed for its various patents first, however, giving those plans status as "prior art" over the Merced patents. With this designation, the Exponential patents can theoretically supersede Intel's patents... <http://www.news.com/News/Item/0,4,18791,00.html> That's not me talking -- that's quoted directly from a C-Net news report. It sounds like plain English to me. I should also point out that as Intel is an investor in C-Net, any bias in the reporting would likely fall on Intel's side. It's why I provided them as a source in the first place. If you have specific information which contradicts any of this, please be so kind as to provide some URL's. Ian Bruce New York, NY
