Re: "I think HotRail could have easily gotten their 8-way Athlon chipset working. But you can't get very far in servers with just a chipset design. You need motherboard support, infrastructure, OS support, OEM support, a reputation to build off of, etc. HotRail probably decided that neither they nor AMD had any of this. And perhaps HotRail didn't get the help they needed from AMD, which may have led to the demise of their 8-way Athlon chipset." You're certainly giving HotRail a lot of credit. AMD with all their resources can't get a 2-way working after nearly a year and a half and you think HotRail could easily have gotten an 8-way working? I'm more skeptical myself. EP
