Paul, <Rob - "McKinley is a toy compared to Power4." Compaq doesn't think so.> Last I checked, IBM manufactures and sells the Power line of CPUs. That 32 processor McKinley box will be a decent box for some folks... and the AlphaServer side of the house has tossed the Global Switch over the fence to that group. The AlphaServer folks bid adieu to the Global Switch in the next generation of high-end AlphaServers. Wildfire uses it, Marvel won't. Guess which box will have much greater performance, Wildfire or Marvel? (Cheating a bit here... suppose you only had 32 CPUs in Marvel and the full 32 in a Wildfire, now guess which one is higher performing?) Maybe you can help Tench out on that "why McKinley is a toy compared to Power4" quiz... I did provide the URL with the answer. Rob
