Jozef and Tench, Tench when you admit that you are "very worried" about Foster overshadowing Itanium it isn't much of a stretch to assume Foster could make for a much stronger database engine. After all, we should see "Son-of-Xeon" clocking 1.1 - 1.4 GHz in a short timeframe. Xeon "stuck" in the 700-800 MHz range. At 1.2 GHz , that is considerably faster than Itanium, it has higher bandwidth than Itanium.. that leaves very little to the imagination as far as how it would stack up against Itanium re: tpmC. Putting a twist (and dipping the toe ever so slightly in the rhetoric pond) and focusing on Itanium strength? What would it be stronger at versus Willamette or Foster? One thing and one thing only... here it is from the legend himself Paul DeMone: " What's wrong with a hand-coded RC5 kernel for [Itanium] benchmarketing purposes? Think of it as the Dhrystone MIPS of the 21st century ;-)" Couldn't have said it better myself. But he is quite a bit more qualified than I am to comment on such matters. Rob
