Mike - Re: 'But it's good to see people talking up big Intel based servers. Sequent, NCR, and a few others have been shipping them for years, but they never advertise it."

Sequent and NCR have used their own proprietary SMP implementations - but Intel's PROFUSION chip set now permits a STANDARDS approach to 8-way systems and, presumably, clusters of 8-way systems.

Such systems should be cheaper to make and maintain.
