Kash - Re: "However my understanding is that Itanium systems will run in the $100K plus range." Yes - they will - for 8 way and 16 way systems - and 64 way systems. Expect 1 and 2-way systems to be in the $15,000 - $25,000 range ! Paul

Kash - Re: "I don't expect sledgehammer to ever play in that arena. I can see it play in the $2-25K server market ie where Intels Xeons/cascades play."

Re: "Lots of folks may buy it even though they only need 32 bits - just so they can be 64 bit compatible." 64 bit compatible = with WHAT software ? What OS ? What Applications ? Paul
