Pictures of Merced cartridge and the "Ottoman" PC-in-a-footstool here: watch.impress.co.jp It's a Japanese web site, but at least the pictures are worth a thousand languages. Also, The Register has pictures of a four-way Merced/460GX system: theregister.co.uk Note that the server configuration is able to support up to 64 GB of SDRAM! (And to think that my hard drive is only 4.5 GB.) Tenchusatsu

Intel Investors: Intel #1 in E Commerce according to Bizness Weak: businessweek.com Silicon Sagas The Chip Giant Is an E-Commerce Giant Until recently, Cisco Systems (CSCO) and Dell Computer (DELL) were the poster children for product sales on the Net. Now, Intel (INTC) has quietly assumed that role. Over the past year, the chip giant has become the world's largest E-commerce company, logging more than $1 billion per month in Net sales. Analysts figure that half of its revenues this year--or $15 billion--will be E-bookings. By yearend, CEO Craig Barrett predicts, up to three-quarters of orders will arrive electronically. Those aren't incremental sales, though: Intel has merely swapped Web forms for fax and phone-call order-entry systems. Benefits are accruing instead in the expense column. For instance, Intel now gets 45,000 fewer faxes per quarter from Asian buyers, and later this year, all Taiwanese orders will be electronic. Best of all, the clerks who transcribed orders now concentrate on customer relations. Intel hasn't yet calculated its savings. But the move helps counteract sagging processor prices. Analysts expect spending on sales and administration to fall one percentage point in 2000--saving more than $250 million. Intel's next step: using E-commerce to goose sales growth. By Andy Reinhardt SG&A down one percentage point. More money in Intel's and my pocket. Don't you just hate it when that happens. Regards, Greg
