Petz, Re: "Wow, the same bandwidth as the NVidia chipset." Yup, but on an Itanium system, you can actually use that bandwidth, rather than having half of it go to waste. You can also scale to 4-processors on an Itanium system (or >16 if you're willing to pay for a more robust chipset). You can also do quite well with transaction processing and other database work. You won't ever see an nForce in a benchmark like TPC - it simply can't handle the workloads. I know this is a tough concept to grasp for some people, but the enterprise server market actually has different hardware requirements that desktop boards can't handle. You AMDroids are so funny when you try and compare desktop and high end server components... it must all look the same to you, right? wanna_bmw
