Tenchusatsu, <<<By the way, our division will soon be getting sixty dual Pentium 4 workstations at 1.7 GHz, each with 2 GB of RDRAM and running Linux. These machines should prove to be much stronger performers than our current Pentium III and HP-UX workstations, yet cost much less than any RISC solution.>>> Wow. Thanks for this terrific insight into Intel workings. In my mind this is very significant. I would think Intel engineering is pretty much ahead of the curve. I can you imagine all (or most of) the other engineering applications on earth migrating in this direction. This is only Intel Engineering. What about order entry, inventory management, production....etc, where most of the IT dollars are budgeted. I think those require a longer lead time for transitioning to an IA64 platform. My guess is that Intel has not even started to think of migrating all those applications to an IA64 platform. If I am right, most analysts (including Intel management) will be surprised by the size of the market Itanium is targeted. Mary
