Tenchusatsu, >>>(Very Long Instruction Word). VLIW is a catch-all term for a variety of technologies that essentially combine many simple computer instructions into a single long instruction which can then be executed more efficiently and quickly than current computer code.> Uh, doesn't Merced ring a bell?<<< I thought that VLIW was going out of favor as the "if you had to use one term to describe Merced's architecture" it would be that. Instead, Intel seems to be using Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing (EPIC) architecture now. Tony
