Elmer, The Xeons are poor performers because they are simply dresses up PII cores. The OEM's will keep paying the 3x premium as long as Intel is only game in town. once a lower cost SMP solution comes available the prices will drop - precipitously. The big question is the K7 performance. If it is simply on par with the next generation Xeons, the Intel will still do OK. However if their performance is higher than newer Xeons you have a real problem. Either way AMD wins, however if they can the performance up they can win big. Regards, Kash
