Re: "Are you saying that up to 1995 the SMP market wasn't lucrative? I seem to recollect IBM doing rather better than breaking even, mostly from SMP minis and mainframes prior to 1995. DEC, SUN, etc. were also managing to not lose money in what was closer to the market for P5/P6 SMP systems (the entry level SMP server market)"

Sigh... what I said was it was Intel's first entry into the lucrative SMP marketplace. Meaning that Intel had been into SMP before but not the lucrative segment which was dominated by others. That's 3 times now Dan. Why are you having so much trouble reading a simply sentence? I hope you can read a ballot.

I'll try. Are you saying that up to 1995 the SMP market wasn't lucrative?

You are not trying hard enough. What he said is that it was Intel's first entry into the lucrative SMP marketplace. This implies to me that the market was lucrative and then Intel entered it. Are you being intentionally dense?
