Dan. >This is the reason that I'm as excited about the SiS chipset as the imminent AMD760 multiprocessor release. The SiS chipset has onboard video and is perfect for building 1U and 2U form factor servers. This is the fastest growing part of the server market. It's also quite cost conscious because the servers are usually ordered by the dozen or hundred. And the organizations ordering these truckloads of servers are all well aware that Intel has just become their direct competitor. Do you mean Intel's web hosting business? If so, the Exoduses and Digexes of the world buy from the likes of Compaq and Dell. But if they did drill down below the Compaq or Dell name I doubt if you'd deny they'll want to trust their business to anything without a 5+ year history. That would be servers starting with the Pentium Pro, of which there are a lot out there, now Xeon. It will be hard for AMD to penetrate the business critical applications market. They've dented it now. I know, because I've personally implemented a number of AMD servers. File and print? I agree about the 1U's being a very hot product. What do the 2Us have that the 1 U's don't?
