Pravin, Re: "Since many will be
upgrading to Xeon to try and avoid Y2K problems, I don't think they will want to
take another risk by buying a K7 system before 2000."

That's about the tenth good reason server builders won't consider using the K7. I hadn't even thought of that one myself. Mind if I use it?

But Hutch ALWAYS uses the term BLINKERS - I guess it must be something hereditary with him.

Re: " I don't think they will want to take another risk by buying a K7 system before 2000"

By the year 2000, do you know how entrenched Intel's XEON will be?

By the year 2000, Intel will also have the SECOND GENERATION XEON - Cascades - on a 0.18 micron process, screaming along at >600 MHz.
