Dear Dan3:

I concur!

I also state that the SAP benchmark of doubling the 2GHz Xeon MP performance for a 1.6GHz Opteron would not ever be considered "a marginal improvement". And it gives some justification to (purely coincidental of course) the marketing bit "that doubling the bits, 32 bits to 64 bits, doubles the performance".

Pete

PS: Sort of like what the 386 did to the PC and workstation markets or like what happened when the Alpha burst onto the RISC server scene.
