wbmw, McKinley seems to have killer bandwidth, which matters to database performance even more than CPU power. Actually, in my post to Tenchusatsu a while ago, I commented that in case of Itanium (2), it will be the strong chipset selling the systems, rather than strong CPU. The bandwidth, and the amount of memory you can have in a single McKinley system is impressive. Itanium 2 is able to achieve almost 30% performance over the fastest .18u generation Xeon MP - with Hyperthreading. What kind of systems were these? Were they maxed out on memory, disk performance? Was the cost the same? Would it be possible to apply the cost difference between the systems to, say more memory on Xeon system? Is the performance increase sufficient to justify with a non-standard system? These are the questions potential customers will ask. Joe
