Do you want a mechanism to enforce this? " First, let us stipulate that the systems must be at least 4-way SMP and must be made or marketed by any of the Top 10 Server OEMs. I don't consider an ATHLON white box from CybersMASH WITH THE WORD server written on it as a "SERVER".

Here is what you said a few messages back "By the way - did you ever consider that Intel Merced Servers may "possibly" be shipping BEFORE any AthLATE servers ever ship ? You should consider this." Now, you got a $500 bet on that original clause.

Here is what you said a few messages back" No - I am stipulating a MINIMUM requirement for a SERVER. Heck, you might run out and buy up one of those few AthLATE demo systems that are out their at al the AMD Cheerleader Web Sites and slap the word SERVER on the skins.

Let's make that 2-way instead of 4-way and you got a deal! {============================} To: Charles R (71627 ) From: Paul Engel Friday, Sep 10 1999 2:37AM ET Reply # 71629 of 82918 Chuckles - re: "Well, I will give you benefit of doubt. Let's make that 2-way instead of 4-way and you got a deal! Deal - 2-way or higher SMP and one of the top 10 server manufacturers - IBM, Compaq, HP, Sun, Dell, NEC, Unisys, Sequent, SGI, Gateway - OK ?
