Well it will be an interesting world of invention to be heard of. it will be more cost effective and the technology it self will be more interesting seeing what Athlon 64 itself has to offer. I tried to imagine Athlon 64 from a year from now hitting a clock speed of 3GHz. It will blow every trace of Intel's processor out of water. I am yet to visualise what the K9 is gointg to do to the current trend of competition against Intel's equivalent.

Unless their "palladium" functionality is *strictly* optional and can be disabled, I don't really see all that many people (at all) rushing to downgrade to a DRM-locked system.

If I wanted a glorified DVD-player, I would buy one. The market abhors a vacuum, and if Intel's and Amd's insistence on Palladium-DRM creates one, you can be certain some other company will gladly cover the void.

..that is, unless some politico decides to intervene and succeeds at passing any crazy federal mandate like Holling's failed CBDTPA/SSSCA proposal..

Which, let it be noted, was shot-down and buried single-handedly thanks to *popular backlash*. As long as people keep their eyes open, both as voters and consumers, as well as avoid condemning themselves to a downward spiral of self-fulfilling prophecies, we might very well steer clear of the most unpleasant side-effects of palladium and the rest..
