Rob, This should be a 35 SpecInt, 60 SpecFp box. Like Intel backfills, expect to see a 21264 back-fill the 1000-$1500 price band by year-end. This should be troubling to both Intel and AMD investors. Scumbria

Rob - Re: " -- How does Merced get any Linux support at the common user level (where a good deal of Linux thrives) if the cheapest Merced box at intro is $7000+? " Initially, it won't. Merced is not a DeskTop product. Deerfield - a few years down the road - will be such an IA/64 product. Re: "Merced won't do great on IA32 binaries, etc." Nope - but it will do them directly - and FASTER than any ALpha can do them! Re: "I suspect 21264 will get a whole lot more popular this summer with .28 micron boxes in abundance." Well - a futurific speculation. We'll just have to wait and see if your dream comes true. What's in it for you if it does come true? Paul
