Albert, here's some good news for your Intel stock:
Texas Advanced Computing Center Installing Four IBM eServer p690s And Two IBM Linux Clusters
The Linux clusters consist of a 40 CPU Itanium and a 64 CPU PIII. They are going into UT Austin alongside four POWER 4-based UNIX systems.
Looks like IBM, the number one server vendor in the world, is sold on Itanium and, for that matter, Intel servers in general. Earlier this week IBM announced that its high RAS Foster Xeon server is available now. It has features like a quad-pumped 400MHz front-side bus, (DDR) Chipkill memory, enhanced floating point operations, 18 hot-swap, high-speed PCI-X slots, and IBM is promoting it for intense applications such as e-commerce, Microsoft SQL™ Server 2000, IBM DB2, Siebel, and SAP.
