rudedog - Re: "nterest in large merced systems from some large accounts caused CPQ to re-think that plan. That is why they are doing the OEM deal with Unisys - it supports merced in 16 and 32 way configurations. That sounds to me like at least some class of important customer wants IA64 NOW in a big machine, and that means production work - a 4 way would be fine for development. "

Thanks for the analysis.

I sure hope you're right.

The out-sourcing to Unisys for 16 and 32-way SMP servers - announced a few weeks ago - caught me by surprise. Maybe Compaq has their hands full trying to get the Alpha to work and has "let slip" their Intel server development.
