Petz, Re: Nocona is not a "processor for clients" and it comes out 2Q 04, not 2H. So, presumably this press release is talking about another spin of the Prescott die in the 2nd half.
If Prescott gets it, Nacona will have it. Intel's DP server and desktop processors have generally used the same die.
Re: NX has been part of all 64 bit AMD processors since April, and it will work under Windows XP 64 SP2 to be released in the second quarter.
So that puts Intel 1-2 quarters behind. Having it in hardware does no good without support from the software and OS.
