Paul, "At 733 MHz, ITanium will have no difficulty in outperforming the UltarSparc II or III - the only competition it needs to worry about." Development platform... Compaq , Sun , etc. etc.. Development platform: news.cnet.com "When we signed the porting agreement with Intel (to bring Solaris to Itanium), we initiated a very aggressive program for getting (software companies) to port and support Solaris on Merced. The slips in the Merced schedule have made it very difficult for us to get a strong foothold there," MacRunnels said. "There's a lot of wait-and-see when it comes to supporting Merced as anything more than a development platform." ---- Sun really can't do much with it... the delays killed any idea of throwing their weight behind it. Besides, Sun has the 100 processor follow-on to the VERY successful UE10000 waiting in the wings. Sure ain't running an Itanium processor. Why should they? No one can answer that question. Help us out. Rob
