William, I have reach total capacity of buying opportunities. I am now ready for Dell to climb out of the muck, dust itself off and soar to new heights. Buying opportunities? We don't need no more stinkin buying opportunities! :o)

DELL's new server blows away the competition. Also, not that DELL is using a non-Intel chipset. Fez _______________________________ INFORMATION WEEK January 24, 2000, Issue: 770 Section: Infrastructure ------------------------------------- Dell Rounds Out Xeon Server Line -- Poweredge 2450 Designed With Rack Density For Internet Infrastructures In Mind Paul McDougall Dell Computer is thinking small. The build-to-order computer maker this week will jump into the market for slim, low-profile servers with the introduction of its PowerEdge 2450 Windows NT system. At 3.5 inches high, the 2450 should be a good fit for space-constrained Internet operations, Dell officials say. "With the increasing demands of E-commerce, a lot of data centers are running out of space," says Subo Guha, director of product marketing for Dell's Enterprise Systems Group. "For us, this represents a key push into the area of Internet infrastructure, where rack density is crucial." The 2450 is one of the first systems to ship with Intel's new two-way 800- MHz Xeon processor, which Intel released earlier this month. It also features a RAID controller on the motherboard. Guha says that despite the 2450's slim profile, "we made no compromise on availability or scalability." The PowerEdge 2450 represents Dell's first foray into low-profile servers, but analysts say the vendor could quickly become a major player in that market. "The pricing is extremely competitive, and they can back the technology with support from IBM Global Services," says Brooks Gray, an analyst at Technology Business Research, referring to the services agreement Dell inked last year with IBM. Pricing for the PowerEdge 2450 starts at $2,999. On its Web site, Compaq lists 4.5-inch-high servers starting at $4,407 for 500-MHz, Pentium III models. Meanwhile, IBM is selling its 3.5-inch-high PowerPC-based B50 thin server for $3,995. This week, Dell is also introducing its PowerEdge 4400 server, another two-way system based on the 800-MHz Pentium III Xeon. The 4400, which is available in a standard tower and rack-mount configuration, starts at $4,699. Both the 4400 and the 2450 feature new 133-MHz front-side bus technology that employs chipsets from RCC, marking the first time Dell has released systems with non-Intel chipsets. "We felt the price/performance was superior," Guha says. Intel's 820 chipset also supports 133-MHz front-side bus technology, but the product suffered numerous shipping delays.
