Re: Wrong, Dan. IA-64 is indeed compatible with x86 Hi Tenchusatsu, I know that Itanic will boot older OSs and chug slowly through standard code, but everything I've read says that doing so results in a $500 eMachine running as fast or faster than a $25,000 Itanic server. That isn't compatible as far as the market is concerned. Remember how SoftPC was going to let the Mac enter the business market? Technically, the Mac was compatible with the "millions of available PC programs" but it ran too slowly to be useable. When somebody allocates 50 or 100K to replace a server, it had damn well better handle an order of magnitude greater workload than the old one. Itanic won't do that on standard code, instead it sinks slowly into the deep blue sea. :-) Dan
