Re: "Looks like a wrong pick.
Few other possibilities have apparently
escaped your attention. There are other reasons
why the big server vendors are using Xeons."

Nice to see that you have flip-flopped again Ali

First you say the Xeon is of no value:

"I don't recall any gain in performance
of Xeon with 1:1 cache as compared to
2:1 PeeII. Do you? After all, the notion
of ROI is equally applicable to silicon
estate - return on silicon investment
in Xeons is about zero. "

Now you realize the large L2 on Xeon is a major advantage!!!

"Intel promises to increase the
size of L2 cache to 2MB (and up?). This
is a must for a reasonable enterprise
server."

Ali, sit down and rest. You need it.
