Re: The answer is simple. We took a benchmark and gave it to all the vendors. Only two could run it. One ran it in 87 hours. Compaq ran it in seven." Peterson didn't disclose the name of the other vendor. Ted, Didn't Compaq commit to the Rambus DRDRAM for the next generation of Alpha? Too bad for them, they will pay dearly for that. BTW- Compaq has always had the fastest processors for these type of applications, but has never been able to gain significant marketshare, I don't expect this to change. Chip
