Scumbria,

You wrote "3. P4 might be a good machine for a few scientists who run their own compiled floating point apps"

IMHO, this is only true if they purchase the Intel C compiler in addition to Visual C++ (which also means that they can't be running Linux or Unix). Our good scientist would also have to be able to compile his app with the Intel compiler, and trust that the results are valid.

Having used the Intel C compiler (admittedly V4.0), I would _never_ trust that compiler. IMHO, what Intel shipped to me should have never been released, let alone charged for.

Mike
