Re: RAID, hot plug and redundant PCI, drives, fans and power supplies like you can get in the better servers today Tony, I'm running (at work) a number of Athlon based servers now that have RAID, hot swap drives and hot swap redundant power supplies - now. They are faster, cheaper, and as reliable or more reliable than their Pentium counterparts. They are single processor, but we have large storage needs with small user counts, so SMP is irrelevant on the Athlon machines. We do use SMP (supermicro and tyan PIII based) for systems with high multiuser CPU loads (Comm, some database and Citrix hosts). Dan

Tony, <Linley Gwennap is not too impressed with AMD's move into servers> 1) I wonder how many AMDroids will accuse Linley of having an Intel-bias here? First high hopes for Itanium, now FUD on AMD's move into servers? Geez, this guy can't be for real! ;-) 2) Much of the push into servers should involve more than just SMP support. Even if AMD succeeds in shoehorning 1.5 GHz Mustangs into a 2-way 760 motherboard, they'll be hard-pressed to match the server and enterprise features found in Intel's server motherboards (using ServerWorks' chipsets). 3) I predict that AMD may try and push 2-way Athlons into the retail space. Oh boy, dual-Athlon boxes in Costco! Who can resist? Tenchusatsu

Tony, The low end servers is the initial target. You have to start somewhere. Joe PS: Most of the high availability components that you mentioned are not processor specific, and can be used with Athlon just as well as with Piii.
