Paul, Rob - Re: "Itanium is a development platform... it won't have much interest at all as its clock-rate sucks and will suck compared to Willamette and Athlon... clock rate isn't everything but both Free-Willy and Athloss will have outstanding memory systems, etc." ----- Seems like you completelu ignored your old favorite - ALPHA ! No... seems like you weren't paying attention... read my first reply to Tench. What frequency are the Production Alpha Servers shipping at? 700 MHz this month... less than Athlete and less than Cooperville. This gets much better and won't look back after this summer, 1+ GHz EV68 finally ships. By the way, have a good piece of information... IBM is sampling some VERY fast Alphas for the Q. By the way - why didn't that fellow from Compaq discuss the 8-way Alpha Servers Ummm maybe because 14-way AlphaServers have been shipping since 1995, so what's your point? Are you confusing a 32-way Wildfire with something? Wildfires are already seriously back ordered and they haven't even offically shipped yet... $1 billion worth expected to ship from June to December.
