Joe, <Now in the retrospect, would you admit that Intel was lying back in 2000 when they said that it was not their inability to make 900 MHz Cascades - Xeon that was stopping them from manufacturing it, but that it was actually Compaq and other OEMs that "asked" them not to sell it.> Get it right. It was 800 MHz Cascades, not 900 MHz. The OEMs told Intel not to bother with such a small speed jump for a high-end server processor. Consider these two systems: tpc.org tpc.org The first one is the top 4-way Cascades 700 MHz server, and the second one is a similar system, only at 900 MHz. The difference in TPC-C scores is just under 10%. Judging from that, what value do you think the 800 MHz Cascades would have added over the 700 MHz version? The current shortage of 900 MHz Cascades says nothing about Intel's ability or inability to make the 800 MHz version last year. Tenchusatsu
