PB,

REDMOND, Wash. -(Dow Jones)- NEC Corp. (NIPNY) is developing a 64-bit enterprise server capable of supporting
up to 16 Intel Corp. (INTC) Itanium processors.

In a press release Thursday, NEC said the server's prototype is successfully running Microsoft's 64-bit Windows
operating system at NEC's research and development site in Fuchu, Tokyo.

NEC, a Japanese semiconductor, electrical machinery and telecommunications equipment maker, plans to ship the
new platform in the second half of 2000.


NEC has long been one of the top supercomputer developers in the world. I wonder if they're going to the IA-64 platform for future developments. Maybe do some looking today. There is a certain amount of bragging rights you can claim when you have the most powerful computer based on your hardware. I wonder if Intel still has it with the Sandia machine.
