Rob,

Linux is already up and running on Merced, according to Intel CEO Craig Barrett.

I love the concept of software running on a CPU which doesn't exist.

Rob - Re: "Can't out-muscle an 8500 in a late 2000 timeframe? "

The PA-RISC-8500 ?

You must mean the PA-RISC 8500 that Intel is building for Hewlett Packard.

Intel makes a tidy profit on each one of those, you know !

Rob - Re: " API (the Samsung folks) are set to announce a < $1000 Linux box in the next week or so. "

Please let us know when this product is announced.

I assume this will be a 600 MHz Alpha 21264 system - right?

Rob - Re: " Maybe because Win64 is shipping on Alpha 1Q 2000?"

Q1 2000 ?

For an Alpha WIN 64 ?

Sounds like a future product to me.

When did Microsoft start working on this - last month ?

Good thing Microsoft always delivers their OS's ON TIME !

Without DELAYS !

Let us know when the ALPHA WIN64 actually ships, please !

Re: "Hang in their fellas . . . we only have 18 months of Merced
hype left."

Rob, Have you heard of a chip called "McKinley" ?? ... Don't worry, you
will.
