Paul, These added costs - which will require significant time and engineering resources - will have to be weighed against any advantages that an AMD CPU will have over an Intel XEON - which will most likely be limited to the silicon cost. Ergo, spending $50,000 of engineering time to save $200-$300 on an AMD CPU may not be a top priority on most busy IT managers agendas. In this scenario, the crossover point would be 250 CPUs before AMD has the advantage. Perhaps large corporations will go first? "No one ever got fired for buying a Col. Sanders Hamster." BTW: When 1GHz PIII was announced last spring, the official price was about $900. Now that they are actually "available", the price has gone up to $1150. During the same period of time, 1GHz Athlons have gone from $1200 to as low as $495. pricewatch.com Interesting, isn't it? ;^) Scumbria
