Kevin - Re: " Intel is taking a big gamble. A good one, IMHO, bt the success of IA64 is FAR from guaranteed." Yep - it's a BIG GAMBLE and an EXPENSIVE gamble - with no guarantees. But IF IF IF Intel succeeds with the IA64 - and this will take several years to accomplish, due to the new instruction set, do you know what it means for Intel's UPSIDE ? Yes, Kevin, EVEN MORE GREEN - VASTLY MORE GREEN ! Re: "when was the last time a successful instruction set was introduced?" The PowerPC had a "new" instruction set, although it had its heritage in the IBM RIOS Risc chip sets. Paul
