Semiconeng, >An executive at Compaq Computer Corp., which sources said led the effort to persuade Intel to pull the chip, praised the decision.

"Compaq applauds Intel’s decision to drop the 800MHz processor in lieu of waiting for a more powerful 900MHz processor in early 2001," said Paul Santeler, vice president in Compaq’s Industry Standard Server Group, in Houston. "This clearly reflects the preference of our enterprise customers to ensure stability and longevity in their server deployments."


This is very clearly the way it went. A VP of Compaq's Industry Standard Server Group doesn't get quoted in the press for nothing, and there were no retractions. The gnats arguing have no industry information that is contrary. I would drop it, unless you enjoy arguing with them. An analogy I like is "it doesn't pay to argue with the traffic or barking dogs."

JMO,

Tony
