PB - Re: "CPQ Proliant Servers are Intel Xeon based" They are Intel based - and use both Pentium II/IIIs as well as Xeon versions. Paul

PB, ProLiants are Intel based but not necessarily Xeon based. I suspect in this instance that Xeons were used for their multiprocessor optimisation and sheer power desired to break this record. Paul, What is your rationale for IBM having poor results. Do you think they will have benefited from their withdrawal from selling PC's through the retail channel? How about their consultancy and ecommerce? Lotus software?

PB - Re: "- CPQ Proliant Servers are Intel Xeon based, are they not?" More details - these Compaq systems are 6 Node Clusters of 8-way systems - with EIGHT 550 MHz Pentium III Xeons per node - making a grand total of 48 Pentium III Xeons in the test system ! {====================================} Compaq Parallel Database Cluster with ProLiant 8500 servers achieves record shattering Windows NT TPC-C performance with 99,274.90 tpmC The Compaq Parallel Database Cluster (PDC/O2000) with ProLiant 8500 servers achieved 99,274.90 transactions per minute (tpmC) at just $39.14 /tpmC. The PDC/O2000 is a 6-node cluster of ProLiant 8500 servers, each with eight 550 MHz Pentium III Xeon processors running Oracle8i Enterprise Edition v8.1.6.0 with Oracle Parallel Server, Compaq Fibre Channel shared storage, and Windows NT Server 4.0 Enterprise Edition. The results represent: Best Windows NT TPC-C Performance, Best Price:Performance of any TPC-C result on a clustered configuration, Largest ever Oracle TPC-C performance on Microsoft Windows NT, and Best Price:Performance for any TPC-C cluster demonstrating the TCO advantages of open systems. {====================================} Paul
