Here are the data points you are looking for regarding the server market and Dell's increasing share.
Q496 Q197 Q297 Q397 Q497 Total 401,438 384,816 416,031 460,778 553,891 Dell 18,637 21,047 28,423 36,055 42,414
Share 4.64% 5.47% 6.83% 7.82% 7.66%
As you can see, the majority of their share growth did not occur from Q496 to Q197. It's been more steady and rapid. CPQ, IBM and HWP saw very strong surges in Q4 and Dell's share actually slipped slightly. Q198 data is somewhere, it would be interesting to see who registered the best growth in Q1.
