Pirate - RE: "If AMD continues on hotrodding their chips, I wonder if we'll see a low-end NetApp with an AMD chip?" That may be actually be a possibility down the road. But for now, it looks like NetApp is using AMD's Irongate (750) chipset to run the Alpha in their NAS products. "AMD already supplies its Irongate chipset for use in Alpha-based servers built by Network Appliance Inc." ebns.com The Irongate only supports one processor, but next year a 2-way capable chipset will be available that will offer other performance enhancing features. With this 2-way chipset, NetApp may be able to build FASTER products. And further down the road, 4 and 8-way capable chipsets are coming. Couple these chipsets with faster Alphas (21364) and NetApp's products should only get better.
