Dan, Re: "Re: Intel's mainstream Xeon parts, which is what is listed from the link, were never in this range. [$800 to $3,000]
>> Does someone here want to straighten him out regarding past (and, in Intel's dreams, future) Xeon pricing? Coming from me it will appear as something other than a simple correction."
You're darned right. Coming from you, people will ignore it, because they already know what a pathological liar you are. Here's the link that I use for proof.

If you look at the launch prices of old Intel Xeon processors, here is what you get.
Pentium II Xeon 400MHz / 512KB L2 cache - $1124, launched 6/29/98
Pentium III Xeon 500MHz / 512KB L2 cache - $931, launched 3/17/99
Pentium III Xeon 733MHz / 256KB L2 cache - $826, launched 10/25/99
Pentium III Xeon 1GHz / 256KB L2 cache - $719, launched 8/22/00
Intel Xeon 2.2GHz / 512 L2 cache - $615, launched 2/25/02
Feel free to look this over a few times, and you're welcome for the time it took me to look it up. $800-$1100, well, if you said that, you might have been right - back in 1999, but in the last two years, prices have only gradually fallen, which is not abnormal for this market. As for up to $3000, LOL, they were never that high. You are thinking of the large cache Xeons, which continue to occupy those larger ASP markets.
