This system is probably at least two years out. Surely Sun bid based on systems using USIII processors. I don't think they were even close to the Compaq performance based on 1.1GHz Alpha EV68 processors fabbed by IBM. I see IBM and Compaq leading in this business. I think all the speculation on this thread about Sun in this regard was/is pure FANTASY.
