Paul, Re:"And the fun is only BEGINNING !" Speaking of fun, I thought you might enjoy this one. A good perspective on that merry band of pranksters otherwise known as the Intel Analysts (Niles, Peck and Kurlack). What the heck, I suppose that we could lump Joe Osha into the group as well with his recent panic price target upgrade to $125. Enjoy! boards.fool.com

Paul Engel. Re: World Record Benchmarks. Here's some exciting news. For the whole press release see: Message 12905509 For some juicy exerpts see below: Company Press Release SOURCE: Compaq Computer Corporation Compaq and Microsoft Shatter Previous World Record Benchmarks; Record-setting Benchmarks Prove Power of Compaq ProLiant Server Running Windows 2000 and SQL Server 2000 HOUSTON, Feb. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Delivering everything customers need to build a Windows 2000 infrastructure optimized for e-business, Compaq Computer Corporation (NYSE: CPQ - news) today released record-breaking benchmarks that show the unbeatable power of Compaq ProLiant servers running Microsoft Windows 2000 and SQL Server 2000. Industry-leading benchmarks for Windows 2000 were recorded on Compaq's ProLiant Server line running a broad range of applications. These benchmarks prove that customers can deploy their most demanding e-business applications running Windows 2000 on Compaq ProLiant Servers. One of the benchmarks, achieved on a 'shared-nothing' cluster of 12 ProLiant 8500 servers running Windows 2000 Datacenter Server, sets a new TPC-C record -- for any hardware, operating system or database -- of 227,079.15 transactions per minute at $19.12 per tpmC. This represents the first time an industry-standard system has out-performed all other TPC-C benchmarks. In fact, the Compaq ProLiant 8500 cluster demonstrated nearly twice the performance of the top competitors including SUN Enterprise 6500 and IBM RS6000. The benchmark result, 21,000 concurrent HRMS users, was achieved on a Compaq ProLiant 8000 database server with eight Intel Pentium III Xeon 550 MHz processors. This result is the highest ever achieved on any platform and is 20 percent better than the best result achieved on a competing platform. Not bad eh? HL
