PB - RE: "How do you view AMD's prospects at taking on SUNW?" From your link - "The machine, called an ''eight-way server,'' ties together eight microprocessors to match the performance of the higher-priced computers." Hot-Rail won't have 8-way capable Athlon chipsets until next year. And then OEMs have to actually use the chipset. Intel is a threat to Sun Micro, not AMD. But Intel is making it easier for AMD to eventually enter that arena. (This could be another example of AMD riding Intel's coattails!)
