Paul, great ongoing news about the various hot operating systems running on Itanium, and applications like Oracle 8i Internet database. If the Oracle one isn't going right for the jugular, I don't know what is...Internet database says it all. In a secure environment, a server running four 500-Megahertz Intel XION processors - Intel's current top of the line - is 13 times faster than a comparably priced Sun Microsystems Inc. (SUNW) server running four of Sun's UltraSparc II chips at 250-Mhz, Barrett said. Hope the performance data is more accurate than the Xeon spelling. Are Sun and Intel stocks moving in the wrong direction? 13X! Strange thing is that Sun never has to answer to any of these comparisons. It should all come out in the wash though. Sun stock has started to go parabolic recently. If these comparisons are for real, that has to stop. Price/performance data can't be kept under a barrel for long. Tony
