Chuck - RE: "To be sure, businesses will continue to buy in the mid-range and high-end for quite some time to come because of the way MIS works but once it becomes obvious that extra MHz is not buying much CFOs will tighten the screws on the MIS guys to change their buying patters. This will not happen overnite but it will happen."

This is one of the reasons AMD and their partners need to get their multi-way capable chipsets out so AMD can make an entrance into the server market. And it will still take time for AMD to get its foot in the door because they will be entering a new market which probably values the Intel label more than the corporate PC market.

Here's something kinda OT but interesting -

"More importantly, a couple of recent studies looked at IT spending broken down between servers and storage, and a few years ago servers dominated. It was [a ratio of] about 75-to-25 servers and storage. Right now we're at the crossover point where the spending on servers and storage is roughly equal. And the estimate is that by 2003, storage will be 75 percent of IT dollars and servers will be 25. And the study even made the quote that by 2003, computers or servers will be secondary to storage. There the entire server-storage relationship flip-flops."

So a few years from now people may be saying servers aren't as important as storage when it comes to IT spending, kind of like PCs may not get as much spending as other stuff right now.
