Dear Elmer:

Tbird out runs Cmine using same NB except for FSB. Cmine is about 10 to 20% slower when comparing apples to apples, Via Apollo Pro vs KT133 using same SDRAM, etc. When running high computational loads, Cmine loses up to 50% slower. The peak yield of Cmine is still 650 to 700Mhz where K75 seems to be 800 to 850Mhz and Tbird is about 850 to 900Mhz (this is very early yet). With Cmine 4 speed grades behind, the average Cmine is blown out on any platform by the average Tbird on KT133. If Ali or 760 comes into play, Cmine will be relegated to the middle end, and possibly even soon to the low end. Even Intel is beginning to imply this. The average Williamette must exceed the average Mustang when it appears or Intel will lose the high end altogether.

For servers, clustering will probably take over the very large super servers. This is why DEC, now Compaq, still holds a large advantage to other servers. Their clustering technology is still recognized as the best currently available. In a cluster, the failure of one server, does not bring the whole system down with it. The others simply have a higher load and low priority apps just slow down. This is akin to what a Beowulf cluster does. Kind of a RAID for servers.
