Re: "Look below. In terms of price/performance: perfect 10 for Intel based" If you download the entire spreadsheet you'll see it's something like 49 out of 50 for Intel. EP

"Look below. In terms of price/performance: perfect 10 for Intel based" True... but sometimes you want performance and that is why high-end RISC boxes have been selling. Maybe some day an OS that can use more than 8 CPUs runs on Intel hardware. Heard Win2000 does that. So maybe it is Itanium versus Foster running Win2000 or variants thereof. Sure doesn't look like Solaris is coming to IA64. So maybe Itanium is just a development platform. Something Intel denies strongly. That's right... it is a "pilot system." Looks like a development platform to me. Maybe I get with it and refer to it as a "pilot system." Shame Solaris took a dive. Especially after we beat that horse in March 2000 and I was assured that Solaris will be there. Oh well! Rob
