Thanks for you reply.
Forgive me if my question is ignorant, but if SQNT's big enterprise servers are going to be based on DEC UNIX and use Merced, why would someone like CPQ see any value into something they might be able to do themselves (ie. big enterprise servers based on the same chip, and even software)? Should I assume NUMA with Merced is the huge difficulty?

thanks
