Re: "Why is that on 8-way and 4-way Intel servers no one has over 700MHz Xeons?" Because those are the fastest chips available for that class of system. Actually, they get beat by 31 MHZ.... Standard Features: Processor: Up to 32 Alpha 21264 6/731-MHz CPUs (one CPU per module) Cache Memory: 64K I and D caches on-chip; 4-MB ECC on-board cache per CPU Up to 64 64-bit PCI channels with 12.8-GB/s aggregate I/O bandwidth www5.compaq.com On second thought, an 8 way intel machine isn't really in the same clase as something like this. :-) Dan
