Intel has been critical of Sun for giving lackluster SOLARIS support for IA64. If you take that criticism at face value, chic, there's this bridge I'd like to sell you. There's no way Intel would like to see Solaris succeed on Intel processors. That's been true for 10 years. Press releases and other BS notwithstanding, Intel will never really support any Sun software efforts on Intel chips until Sun starts building Intel boxes, which they never will. --QS

Dear Chic: OT OT OT supercomputers in the world, only one is based on the Pentium. Also, clock for clock, the Pentium 4 is going to be a dog. My guess is a 1.1 Ghz Pentuim 3 will be faster or equal to a 1.4 Ghz Pentium 4. OK, now I GOT to know why you say that? This is a personal question. I had planned originally to get myself a new computer in Sept. Then cancelled that plan when I learned of the Pentium 4 coming out this fall. Reason, I was thinking the P4 is the first P upgrade in 6 years and I didnt want to buy old technology on a computer I am expecting to be on for the NEXT 6 years. JDN
