Jim, Re: Hummm, this is exactly what I suggested Intel do a few weeks ago. Will be interesting to see if they follow through. Are you saying you tried to 'teach' Intel how to run this CPU business ? Gary

McMannis - re: "Is a Dixon going to be cheaper to make than a Pentium II?" Clearly, the silicon costs will be greater for Dixon, but the over all finished costs will be only slightly higher. Intel seems undaunted by large die sizes at present and have embarked on some very aggressive designs with extremely large cache sizes. They seem to be of the mind that they (Intel) can now do in silicon more advanced "systems integration" that is cheaper than with external , discrete components. Paul
