Joe - re: "AMD K-7 doesn't even look good on paper. can you explain why. " 1. Introductory speed - if at 500 MHz - will lag behind Intel's products at the time of the K7 introduction - unless the K7 is introduced before Christmas of this year. 2. K7 back side bus uses OFF-CHIP L2 cache that runs at a FRACTION of the processor speed. This will slow the processor down in heavy traffic situations and for large database applications. Intel's XEON is full speed backside bus and the off-CPU L2 cache on the XEON will be brought onto the CPU chip in the Cascades CPU. 3. AMD requires a whole new infrastructure of chip sets and motherboards to support the K7 - and this by itself will restrict the acceptance of this "bastardized" interface. Intel achieves High Volume in server designs by offering a standard suite of Server Mother boards as well as Workstation motherboards and reference designs. All this design and engineering and testing and manufacturing does not come cheap and it does not come quickly. AMD will have to drive this all on their own and cannot glide along the coattails of Intel's hardware strategy. Paul
