Gopher Broke, Re: "Perhaps that was when they went public but not when they started development. I think it was back in 96 that Intel offered our company a prototype software development platform, so the hardware development must have been going on for years beforehand." You're probably right that hardware development started long before the first announcement, but since Intel and HP first started their alliance in 1995, I don't think hardware development could have started before that. In that case, a 6 year development time is much longer than most, but then again, the work required to enter into the server market with a brand new architecture is more than most companies could even think to accomplish. wanna_bmw
