Paul, >"The entry server market, servers priced less then $100,000, were least impacted by the Y2K slowdown with a strong growth rate of nearly 13% in 1999. The top leaders in this category are Compaq, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Sun Microsystems, and Dell. Much of the growth in this segment can be attributed to a large demand for dual- and quad-processor standard Intel architecture servers, which grew at 24%. " I find it interesting that IDC considers the entry server market to be up to $100,000. Top of the line 8-way Xeon based with a lot of memory, hard drive storage, several PCI expansion slots, etc., are less than that. If they took up to about $50K for entry, >24% growth would result for Intel based servers, I'm quite sure. Anyway, not to nitpick IDC, they are one of the good ones. Tony
