If you can wait a few months (It'll give you time to save some cash) you should be able to pick one up. My understanding (If someone knows something different, please correct me) is that the AMD cpu's will continue to borrow from EV6 technology and the SMP will operate more like ALPHA SMP than Intel. I'm not sure if this will cause problems or not, AMD may have found a way to make it look like Intel, while keeping the EV6 performance.. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Drew Sanford Email: lauasanf@bellsouth.net ICQ: 8690555 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= "My mother said to me, if you become a soldier, you'll be a general, if you become a monk, you'll end up as the pope.
