Ten,

Perhaps you forgot about all those companies dedicated toward building Merced systems

Is it dedication or is it insurance? I suspect the latter.

tench, re:Of course, we'll know soon enough whether the K7 can live up to the "foils."
Already, a few are speculating that the K7 bus won't be able to make it to 200
MHz in its first incarnation. That's a minor point, though, but one that could be
indicative of the hype-to-reality ratio of the foils.

IMO, AMD is setting up traders for its classic "rise on the hype" movement. I bought some shares right before the close yesterday. I think the K7 hype from Jerry and the boys should bring the stock into the 20s...then, its time to dump in the summer once everyone realizes how crippled a K7 on .25m really is <ggg>

I'm guessing that the chipset to SDRAM speed will be 133 MHz, but the chipset to K7 bus speed will be at 200 MHz.
