John, >Just got off a CC from a company that sells memory for servers. When asked about the Intel based server market, they said the low end is showing "extraordinary" growth. That the rack type servers (I think he called them IU's?, can't read my own notes!) were selling "by the 1000's".

1 U's are the "thinnest" Intel based servers made (thin in height, actually). They are 1.75 inches high (1 U), can typically have one or two Pentium IIIs, some internal disk storage, memory of course, PCI expansion slots, etc. They sell for not much more than an expensive PC. CPQ, Dell, IBM and HP all have them, probably several other non-tier one vendors also. All are SMP, or course! (if 2-way).

This is the market that I'm so anxious for AMD to get into. It is where the SiS integrated chipset is important.
