Guess they intend to try to make Itanium based the same kind of standard that Xeon is. - Tony --- Yeah... sorta like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. You click your heals and wish and it happens. Actually, Compaq has an Industry Standard Server Division. Since the hope is IA64 becomes an Industry Standard and it falls under the Intel Umbrella , makes sense for them to go this route. Of course it is hard to be an Industry Standard if you aren't shipping product. Hey... look, from that URL, an interesting link: www5.compaq.com!ob~23413_1_1,00.html They demoed an Industry Standard IA64 server Jan. 4, 2000 running Windows. Since Itanium workstations have been pushed back from March to May, and Whistler to year end 2001, do you suppose Compaq freaks the industry out and ships an Industry Standard Itanium server before workstations ship? With Whistler? Nah. So imagine this... the servers with Whistler ship November 2001. Kinda impressive , demo a product nearly two years before you actually ship one. There is vapor and there is whole new categories of vapor that Itanium is creating. Industry Standard Vapor Rob
