Paul Engel. Re: SUN. What's your take on the new chip that SUN just announced? Is this for real or is this deja vu all over again? HL

<Anand couldn't wait for those Killer laughALON servers !> Yeah, seriously. No matter what sort of praise Anand will come up with regarding the vaporous Athlon and its performance, the bottom line is that in the near future, 3 out of 4 servers running Anandtech's web site will say "Intel Inside." Also, notice that each of those Intel-based servers have two Pentium III Xeon CPU's with 1 MB of L2 cache, and each CPU adds close to $2,000 to Intel's revenue. And if those sales came from a web site set up by a 17-year-old high school student, imagine the sales coming from many other would-be webmasters out there! Speaking of which, I'm going to build a NT workstation for an old college friend of mine who also wants to be a webmaster. It's going to be a 600 MHz Pentium III system with tons of SCSI hard drive space and memory. He wants to get a dual processor system, but I'll leave one CPU slot open since he can defer the purchase of the second processor until later. Not only will this be one powerful sucker, but it'll be a great learning experience for me since I've never installed NT on my own before. And of course, a little promoting of Intel's latest-n-greatest doesn't hurt. Tenchusatsu
