KZNerd,

Thanks, and guess what I don't know anything about lots of stuff.. you see that's what happens when you are too young to have worked with the hardware in a meaningful way. I can only judge it by what I read and the goals for teh product were, to say the least very interesting. I have never been able to find Intel manuals on the part, let alone one in a configuration I might be able to play with, so I have to suffice with tidbits of information, reading, etc.

I will say that from what I know it sounded like it was a hell of design, just late, under powered, over priced.. sure this doesn't make a successful CPU but it sure sounded like it would have been a blast to fool around with.
