Mary, >I don't quite understand it, but according to the article, IBM has their own IA64 chipset. Sure, chipsets are like glue logic chips that interface the microprocessor(s) with the rest of the PC or server, like PCI and memory buses. IBM is choosing to do their own chipset for IA64, I think because they want support for up to 32 (maybe 64?) processors in a server. Intel, I don't think, is going that high. Also, IBM will be building a lot of their well known RAS stuff, developed largely for mainframes, into that chipset.Tenchusatsu is the resident expert here on chipsets. I think he's said Intel is also putting a lot of RAS features into the Intel IA64 chipset. Here are some current Intel chipset types: Intel® 850 Chipset Pentium® 4 Processor Intel® 820E Chipset Intel® 820 Chipset Pentium® III Processor Intel® 810E2 Chipset Intel® 810E Chipset Intel® 810 Chipset Celeron™ Processor Intel® 815EM Chipset Mobile Pentium® III Processor Mobile Celeron™ Processor Mobile Intel® 440BX AGPset Intel® 440MX Chipset Intel® 840 Chipset Pentium III Xeon Processor Intel® 815E Chipset Intel® 815 Chipset Intel® 815EP Chipset Intel® 815P Chipset Pentium III Processor Intel® 440BX AGPset Intel® 840 Chipset Pentium III Processor Pentium® III Xeon™ Processor Intel® 440GX AGPset Intel® 440BX AGPset Embedded Chipsets Embedded 815 Chipset Family Pentium III Processor Pentium® II Processor Celeron Processor Pentium Processor with MMX™ Technology Pentium® Processor
