John, "In addition, IBM announced two new low-end servers, including the $970 x200 model with an Intel Celeron chip. IBM also released the x220, which can accommodate two CPUs, with a bare-bones price of $1,400." >>A server with a Celeron chip? I thought the server market was high margin for Intel? Like Elmer says, even the Celeron can do SMP, which maybe AMD will learn how to do someday also. Tony

John, it seems that Celeron-based server from IBM is stretching the very definition of a "server." Heck, I can put together a Celeron system for $700, connect a hard drive and a network card on it, and call it a "file server." Attach a printer, and voila! Two-in-one "file server" and "print server"! But of course, when you and I and most of Wall Street talk about servers, we mean the kind which bring high profit margins to the bottom line. ;-) Tenchusatsu
