Tony, one of the things that Intel will bring to the enterprise server arena is the now-proven concept of SHV, or standard high volume. This has allowed Intel to push Xeon-based servers at excellent price/performance ratios compared to the competition. Once IA-64 takes off (whenever that'll be), Intel will combine RAS and pure performance along with the SHV concept. This is what will differentiate Intel from the competition like Sun or IBM. Of course, it's going to be hell to execute perfectly on such a plan. And the press is certainly not going to be one bit forgiving if Intel falters in any one area (RAS problems, lower-than-expected performance, lower-than-expected volumes, take your pick). But as usual, when the risks are high, so must be the rewards. Tenchusatsu
