Elmer: Re: ...the Itanium boxes will tout such features as 32GB of memory--enough to store entire Web sites... I don't know if everyone knows it, but the Itanium processor actually has 44 data address lines, which can support 2^44 or ~17.5 TBytes of memory. This is a big plus for data mining or DB applications that would benefit from having the entire database in memory. As customer demand for systems with >64 GBytes of RAM increases, Itanium-based systems will be able to handle it. Also, I supported a large user's group conference several weeks ago at which we (Intel) demonstrated an Itanium workstation and a server. Awareness for the Itanium brand name, even from the rather techie crowd, was quite low. The up-side was that we were able to show off the systems, and create good awareness of the Itanium brand, to a wide variety of heavy-duty server users. Most were impressed with what Itanium-based systems could do for them (particularly the large addressability I mentioned above), and they also wanted more info on pricing and availability. Hopefully this will be cleared up soon with the impending launch. Adam
