Tony, Liquid cooled 1Ghz K7's will ship this year. Allegedly the Kryotech cooling systemonly adds a few hundred dollars to the costs. So there should be sub $3,000 1Ghz K7 systems available this year. It would seem to me that Intel should offer a liquid cooling option or they are going to be left seriously behind. And the performance of a single cpu is much higher than a dual CPU. It would seem to me that a single 1Ghz K7 will be much higher performance and much lower cost than say a dual or quad Xeon 550. Also the RAS of a single CPU system should be much higher than a dual/quad system. Welcome your thoughts. Regards, Kash

<Cornell, Far above Cayuga's Waters, right? Maybe you could have had a tug of war across it to see who'd get dumped, the Mac or the Wintel bigots.> I don't know how it is now, but back when I attended Cornell (which wasn't that long ago), only the Engineering School used PC's more than Macs. A lot of Cornell alumni I know are converting from Macs to PC's because of obvious reasons. <What's Merced supposed to dissipate on 0.18 micron, anyway? You know that all of IBM's newest S390s are liquid cooled, right? Big Iron, or Big Silicon (TM Paul E.) tolerates exotic cooling methods to get the utmost performance. Of course, you'd rather not if you don't have to, i.e., go liquid.> I don't know. Merced's power dissipation hasn't been officially announced anyway. I don't know if it will require liquid cooling; I sure hope not. Tenchusatsu
