Forget 256 - focus on 4 and 8 way; that's where they will fly. The bulk of the mid-server market is 2-8 way machines. An 8-way 700MHZ PIII box with 512M RAM, 100GB RAID could one day cost as little as... 8 CPU * $1000 = 8000 (based on $849/cpu large quantities) 512M RAM = 800 100 GB RAID = 5000 Mboard + case = 1000 Net card(s) = 300 Backup = 1000 UPS = 1000 ==================== ~18,000.00 + tax = < $24,000.00 ! Now what does an 8-way Sun box cost ?
