Thanks for info. According to what you say and a quick look at UIS, it looks like a good value. I don't understand why HWP or MSFT don't scoop it up. --- These 'horizontal market' politics confuse me. <g> --- Hey, here's something unrelated (a funny) I read this and thought of you, for some reason (maybe the ale)... ietf.org -JCJ

Re: Their roadmap shows a 64 way version with either IA32 or IA64 in summer of 2001. If Intel delivers the IA64 parts, fine, if not, then at least they have a 64P XEON machine, which should be at 1.5 GHz by that time (assuming Intel can actually deliver, something that some would question). Are you sure? The process affinity mask in NT is 32 bits, limiting the straight SMP processor count to 32. It's probably been widened for 64-bit NT but changing it for 32-bits would break just about every driver ever written since it's part of the compile-time structures in the DDK. That's not to say they couldn't package the 64 processors as a 32-way XEON cluster in a box or some other kind of split.
