Thanks for confirming that the industry support behind Merced shows that it will be a "sure thing!" ;-)

Scumbria - "In this industry, it is suicidal to sit and wait for a sure thing."

I'm sure you are correct in saying that, but won't some of these suppliers wait until they are sure that the K7 will be in volume production? What if they produce 2 million motherboards and/or chipsets and production of the K7 is only 200,000/quarter.I know I would want to see some production before making a commitment. Maybe it doesn't work that way????
