Chung, Re: " To be fair, you can scale Xeon beyond 2 processors. They've solved the bug in the chip set that limited them to 2. That takes them up to 4 and maybe 8" Four processors in three or four weeks or so, after the Xeon chipset flaw is tested and verified enough, eight in fourth quarter. Intel bought a company called Corollary that had an 8 way SMP architecture and design developed. They will use it for the 8 way node. Re: "if they could find a power supply, cooling system big enough." Are you serious? If Sun can power and cool up to 64 processors in a Starfire E10000, why couldn't Intel power and cool eight? Tony
