Compaq Achieves Outstanding 8-Processor ProLiant Server Benchmark Results "

Compaq is really going to have a screamer when they replace those 8 Pentium IIIs with 8 K7's !

Thanks for the article, Belite. I was expecting at least 60% improvement going from 4-way to 8-way. It seems that 61% is the worst-case scenario, according to Compaq, and that performance increases of 88% and 146% are possible. (Though I have to wonder about that 146% figure ...)
