Niels, <before anyone is going to replace a critical Xeon server>
Have critical servers being replaced by Xeons already?
It is something new to me... :)

Niels, re: reluctance to replace PIII or Xeon servers with K7.
Not at all true for the thousands of "little guys" who are just now buying their first servers and setting them up. And many of these new guys will pass on the Xeon and only consider either the PIII or the K7 (in a few months).

They would have said the same thing about using Linux six months ago. ("No one would ever consider replacing Windows NT with Linux for critical server applications" : NOT)

Niels, New places will switch. established sockets will probably stay. Soon after full rollout and implementation of single and multiply connectable server type K7s with extra cache etc you will get people buying, trying and benchmarking these K7s. As those benchmarks go so will the K7 server models. No-one will be first, economics will make nearly all try it and offer it and Intel will have to meet price if it passes those benchmarks.
