Where in those quotes do you see that Compaq either suggested that Intel stop making the Xeon 800 or specifically made that statement? I see no indication of either. Whether it is a manufacturing problem or not, I dunno. But you haven't yet refuted Dan yet, IMO, and your rather emotional response makes me wonder. If you cannot see what is clearly right under your nose, then I can't help you. I am now bored with your nit picking semantics. End Of Discussion SemiconEng

GV, Re: But you haven't yet refuted Dan yet, IMO, and your rather emotional response makes me wonder. Both are rather emotional :-) I would say that while it is not stated clear it is cancelled by customer request(be it Compaq or its end customer), it is implied as the cause by Intel and Compaq. gary

GV, <Where in those quotes do you see that Compaq either suggested that Intel stop making the Xeon 800 or specifically made that statement?> Intel released Cascades Xeon 700 MHz some months back. When Intel was about to release the 800 MHz version, customers like Compaq resisted, saying that they wanted to give the original 700 MHz version a little more time. Therefore, Intel decided not to release the 800 MHz version. That's why Compaq said to reduce the pace of "large-cache processor introductions." The 800 MHz version would have come too soon after the 700 MHz version, and the difference in performance would have been too miniscule to justify a large-scale launch of the new speed grade.
