RE:"Sun prices these systems with 900MHz UltraSparc III processors, and 8-way systems start at $234k. The mid-planes get 9.6GB/s of bandwidth, so the system is configured for reasonably high performance. But contrast that against the estimated base cost of a 4-way Itanium 2 system, whose base cost is supposed to be ~$40k. With 4x the performance at less than one fifth the cost, I can see why Reuters is enthusiastic about Itanium 2." I can see why Tony said SUN is toast a few years ago. And why they could use Opteron... ...So much more fat to trim from tech........ Jim
