P7 may have been a development project of the past, but once that product was released the name P7 was available for use again. This is just my understanding of the system, I may be wrong. Hmmm, anybody at Intel watching? Can two projects have the same name at the same time; is there corporate control over project names? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- David Peterson Intel Corp., M/S SC4-69, 2625 Walsh Ave. Santa Clara, Ca. 95052-9940
