Amy,

... when Xeon came out (signalling Intels intentions in the highend market) it spells
the end for all the other companies in the Workstation, Server, and Fault Tolerant
markets.


FYI, IBM is shipping machines (since May) based on 0.18 micron gate length chips, at 1.57 nanoseconds cycle time, which is 637 MHz. Throw in copper. These facts do not even begin to address the advanced system advantages that S390 has (I won't use the R acronym). The statement in italics above is complete and utter BS. For anyone dropping in, I am definitely pro-Intel, but I happen to know a little bit about what's happening in the computer world, and Xeon, and IA64 will cause maybe a 0.18 micron wide crack in big iron armor in the next few years.
