Yes Ed , it is. I wasn't arguing with you. I commented Rob's reverse engineer thing and in - to make a long story , short - said it wasn't necessary as Intel has full access to AMD's patents.

Sorry if I wasn't clear.

George I was just making fun of myself for not being able to explain it as well as you. :yesnod:

Now I really get it.

I do that a lot George when I don't know enough about a subject I just make fun of my ignorance and try to learn. :yesnod:

Do that myself Ed.

Didn't get you as I was frustrated from work.

While I doubt I am as "old" as you are I completley understand your statement. Old hardware rocks. My grandma was going to throw away a comp and theres where I got my first when I was 8. Man that thing was awesome dual 51/2 floppy drives. Wow that was the stuff.

I see your point george but they are reverse engineering and the Itanium is getting scrapped, trying to find the news links for ya. They dont want it to be excatly the same so they are walking it backwards and taking a different spur off of AMDs design as they dont want to be labeled as "copycats" when they already are. Sorry but AMD has all the glory for 64 bit and intel is following their lead as they have no ther choice.

However, intel still has the fastest 32- bit proccessor.

This months Maximum PC Magazine makes reference to this very issue. I don't have it in front of me or I would quote it for you, but pick up a copy at the store and check it out. They say in the magazine that Intel has done a form of reverse engineering to use AMD's 64Bit technology. They didn't get it perfect, but since Microsoft plans to release only 1 version for this type of processor it is expected that the 64 bit extensions will end up being identical... one way or another. Also, I feel that the argument of AMD is better or Intel is better is like arguing politics, the thread would end up 30+ pages long and have to be closed because there is no end in site. Although, it may be pretty informative reading.....
