Chic, I liked this line ...

"When the Willamette hits later this year/early next year, for Intel's sake, RDRAM better be affordable because a Tehama + MTH + SDRAM solution is going to severely cripple the performance of Willamette."

A lot.

And this one ...

"If RDRAM doesn't catch on, the consequences could be severe for Intel, since they are the ones that have invested so much of their roadmap in this one technology."

chic( who loves AMD more and more as the days go by),

There was big IBD article about IBM and its re-entry into the mid range server market. The article is dated 5/11/00 and essentially discusses the new server's chances against SUNW. Interestingly, HP has a big market share than SUNW.

Bottomline: IBM's new servers are competitive but the product range needs to be filled out.
