KSHITU - Re: 'I think the dedicated processor on the NIC speeds up symmetric encryption, while Itanium speeds up
both symmetric and asymmetric (public key) encryption.
Unless the NICs do the latter, justification for
Itanium should not diminish. Of course, as you noted,
offloading DSP, symmetric encryption, and similar
operations from the pricey Itanium would indeed free
the latter to support all other use, including the
computation intensive SSL/TLS handshake operations. "

Good response.

Unfortunaltely, Blow Hard Dan is a noise maker and is not interested in facts - he just trolls in an attempt to pump up his AMD.
