wily:
Can anyone explain the difference between a PIII XEON 733 @ $ 826 and a PIII 733 @ $776. There is no difference in specs explained in press release and I am very interested to see icomp numbers from Intel. Intel has always charged an arm and a leg for any added performance. For example, PIII 667 is $ 605 or difference of $171. Difference between PIII and PIII XEON is $ 50. I can't believe that Intel is only charging $50 if it is much faster.
The only thing I can see is that Xeon supports 4 and 8 way scalability. I am sure we will see some hacker web site document how you can cut a trace and use ordinary PIII in 8 way server.

VC820 mobo arrival date pushed to 11/5 at Tech Data. OR840 mobo still stated as arriving @ Tech Data and Ingram on 10/25. However, Intel still hasn't posted CE certification documentation for European sales on web site so I doubt that it is a go for today.
