Re: "The benefits of the P6 bus are limited to MP." Yes for the most part this is correct. However if Intel was going to participate in the SMP market they needed a new bus protocol and electrical specification. Surely you can't fault them for trying to cover 2 markets with 1 product. It worked. You have been suggesting that Intel's bus choice was primarily intended to damage AMD. This is an irresponsible charge, imo and does not fit the facts. EP
