Paul, nice reply but I tend to agree with Russ. Most
of these applications will do much better with non
Intel based machines.

Now, I do agree that NT servers sales are doing well
and represent a nice growth segment for Intel. Now, for
client side applications, I can tell you that 450Mhz Dell
doesn't play MPEG-2 any better than a 100Mhz Pentium clone.
Both require an additional MPEG decoder card and this is
considered a high end application.

Airline reservation engine must run on a server and the
client speed doesn't matter at all.

I'm also sure that trading floor application run on
servers and clients are used to click on icons and
do some basic tcp/ip communication for input/output
to the servers.
