Re: Amphus to Introduce Ultra Dense Server Design Based On Intel

When do the half dozen guys that constitute Amphus expect to make their first sale of anything?

Amphus is in the Menlo Business Park, left side near the end of the driveway.

And you whine that Boxxtech is small!!

You're such an ass.

It would appear that SUN and its software supporters, with many years of experience developing for the SPARC 64-bit platform, have slammed the door on the 800MHZ Itanic with the 900MHZ UltraSPARC.

Check out what Itanic is up against:

Sun has been shipping 64-bit systems and software that runs on them for years. Sun left a window open for two years, stuck around 333MHZ - if Itanic had shipped during that period it would have had an open field in which to run, but now...
