Tony, <The author makes Infinibad sould like another thing Intel is pushing on everyone.> The author is Bert McComas, legendary think-tank of the anti-Rambus coalition. These days, it seems he is now focusing on discrediting Infiniband, even painting it as "yet another technology by the big bad monopolist." (Makes me wonder who is paying him to say that.) Like you said, however, Mr. McComas is wrong, since Infiniband is being defined by a joint effort between leading server vendors across the industry. By the way, Infiniband is the unification of NGIO and "Future I/O," not NGIO and PCI-X. Intel will be pushing both PCI-X and Infiniband, since both technologies, as Mr. McComas correctly points out, are more complimentary than competitive. Tenchusatsu
