I voted for Bush once.  As it's turning out, once was once too often.

The 960MX is designed for military applications, and is available only in
a mil-spec version at over $1500 each.  It is a much-enhanced derivative of
the 960CA, with on-chip FPU and MMU, a 64-bit "backside" bus for private 
memory or a second-level cache, and support for the "extended architecture"
object-based protection scheme that originated with the BiiN work.
