Re: A few months ago, I warned this thread that Sun was desperately looking for quantities of very fast ECC 8Meg SRAM for their servers and that they could not likely ship USIII systems with out it. Well, I guess we now know why. What's even more incredible is that IBM will likely sell it to them. Watson, I've stated on this thread my in-the-field observations of crash prone Sun servers. I always thought it was because Solaris was such a fragile OS, but I guess you know more than me. I didn't see anything in that article about IBM bailing them out, but that would just prove once again that IBM management has their head up their arse. You'd think they would offer no help and advise their sales crew to milk this for all they can. Next thing we'll hear is that IBM is going to fab the US-III on IBM's industry leading copper/SOI process. It seems IBM has Sun right where they want them, but doesn't know how to capitalize if what you say ends up coming true. chic
