You don't need inside information to conclude that Compaq will in the near future use the Itanium architecture for all of its 64 bit servers. Compaq made that statement in a joint press release with Intel. biz.yahoo.com Announcement Overview Details of the announcement include: Compaq will consolidate its entire 64-bit family of servers onto the Itanium microprocessor architecture by 2004. In one bold stroke, Compaq is extending its 10 years of leadership in 64-bit computing for the next decade and beyond. Compaq will deliver an additional generation of Alpha technology (EV7) to advance system performance prior to the new generation of the Itanium-based systems, for which the company will provide tools and support for a smooth customer transition. The company will also design and build new NonStop Himalaya systems based on MIPS chip technology until the first shipments of Itanium-based systems are available in 2004.
