Tench, Rob, <Compaq doesn't use Intel's current 8-way chipset> That's incorrect. In fact, Compaq helped Intel develop their 8-way Profusion chipset. What Compaq didn't use is Intel's Sabre motherboard. Instead, they had their own motherboard, and it helped Compaq to be the first to market with 8-way Profusion-based servers. It also helped Compaq when the Sabre motherboard initially had problems, since competing OEMs had to wait for their Profusion-based systems. --- Sorry.. got that wrong. Can't find what I am thinking about. Rob
