Harry, >Compaq's server chips, the alpha series, will be running over 1 gig shortly Compaq cancelled Win64 on Alpha development. They are counting on IA64 strongly for that, as are the all the other major OEMs. IBM's powerfour chip will eat Itanic for lunch; IBM has much more powerful chips today than Sun but they can't seem to market their way out of a paper bag vs. Sun. One of their top two server lines, Netfinity, is all PIIIs and Xeons. The industry loves standards and right now, industry standard Intel based servers are the fastest growing server line there is. Any OEM that moves away from Intel would be foolish. BTW, MHz or GHz aren't that important in database servers. Tony
