Right :-)

For all products, it's always a bad idea to speculate on the 
time-frame before production is ready to go.

I don't know if you are looking to delay your choice waiting 
for a such hypothetical product, but if Myricom decide to go 
PCI-X, it would definitely not be in 2001.

PS: I would be very carefull about early PCI-X motherboards. 
It's not easy to make a good PCI-X chipset (it's not easy 
to make a good PCI chipset today), and the learning curve will 
be steep for the vendors.
